Summary: "This book has a wealth of information and practical strategies to assist parents and carers to manage the food environment to enable good diet and eating behaviours of children with Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS). Daily exercise should also be mandatory. Children with PWS don't have the sense of "fullness" when they eat compared to people with PWS. Furthermore their body composition is different to that of other children. A highly restrictive diet is necessary for them to maintain a healthy weight and good overall health." - THE BIG ISSUE
