How can I make sure that my child is well nourished? How can I restore good relations between parents and children in our family?"Only people with a first-hand experience with fussy and picky children can fully grasp the challenge for the family. In this guide, three renowned professionals join forces to help families deal effectively with the issue:Pavlos Sakkas, a professor of psychiatry, analyses step by step how the family meal may well turn into a conflict between child and parents, emphasises the danger of the ever-lurking anorexia nervosa and shows how to eliminate these issues.George Moustakas, a paediatrician, offers helpful information and tips for children's nourishment and redeems the reputation of tasty foods such as butter, chocolate, salt, etc.Eirini Togia, the internationally famous and global award-winning chef better known as "Rena tis Ftelias", shares Mediterranean-style recipes that appeal even to the fussiest children.The guide is also a source of practical, hands-on tips and insights described through real-life personal stories of adults who had been fussy themselves or who had picky children. The experts' comments on the stories shed more light and reveal hidden aspects.Finally, the book provides useful advice gleaned from recent academic studies, surveys, and researches, a world bibliography, and guidelines from the National Health System in the UK (NHS Choices).Editor's prefaceIt is not by coincidence that the authors and the editor of this book are all of the Mediterranean origins. In this part of the world, food is a severe issue! The same applies to the family. And they are best expressed together on the occasion of a joyful family feast.So, in the Mediterranean culture, a picky or fuzzy eater is a matter of concern that is worthy of attention. A holistic approach was the concept of the first edition, published earlier this year in Greece. It aimed to help expand a child's appetite as well as to highlight the family dynamics that may trigger this kind of behaviour.The success of the first Greek edition as well as substantial research evidence suggesting that these issues are, after all, common around the world, led us to this enhanced international publication in the English language.IntroductionIf you are reading this book, there is a good chance you may feel challenged by a child's eating behaviour.What is a fussy or a picky eater? Is there a difference with neophobia? Yes, there is.What is the primary root of the problem? Parents' behaviour and their relationship with their children.Do you know that if you change the colours and taste, with appropriate preparation, of the main foods that are usually rejected by picky children, the same children will eat them up?These are only some of the topics covered in the following chapters of this guide: Fundamental rules for parents to obtain and increase skills in building consistent and straightforward behaviours in their children with delicacies and children-friendly decorated dishes.Parents' anxiety control and their knowledge about the phenomenon and its types and what is normal or not remain a key. Because the solution requires knowledge of the problem for the parent to ask for help promptly from a doctor who is the only person and professional that can help solve this issue.This is the goal of this guide which covers eating difficulties from toddler age through to adolescence in five sections.

The peaceful summer of 1940 is followed by the historical events of the 28th ofOctober and subsequently by Greece's defeat and occupation by the German and Italian armed forces.He observes life from the balcony of his fourth floor apartment, one of the rare block of flats in the centre of Athens. Through his young mind tries to process and understand a new concept of life, being starved, cold and deprived of his previous comforts.The adults around him listened to transmissions from illegal radios. Early evening curfew resulted to all night gatherings - parties, which were enjoyed despite the lack of very basic sustenance. How his peers were managing, or not, with their businesses - professions, despite the occupation and harsh restrictions."The great bombing of Piraeus" by the American Air Force, dropping the B-17 bombs on the city, instead of on the port installations. A mistake that costs the life to hundreds of people.What a time to begin one's education during a major war and occupation.The Germans soldiers were hanging people from the street lamp posts in the centre of town, as retaliation to the resistance's sabotages and other actions against them.And yet in the midst of this turmoil as children we could still have fun, by getting to areas like Tourkolimano and Neo Faliro by train or on foot, in order to enjoy the seaside and have a swim.Liberation comes with celebrations and demonstrations, an oxymoron, followed by the battle of Athens, in December 1944 "Ta Dekemvriana". Hostages were taken,houses were burned, it was the beginning of a horrendous "Civil War".During the years of 1945 - 1951 conditions were diverse, where for some people life continued almost normal and for others was completely disrupted.There were parts of Athens like 'Polygono' where there were encampments of cardboard or huts with tin roofs, temporary housing for the civil war refugees, resembling the Brazilian favelas.For us school life continued and we enjoyed outings, innocent flirting, open air cinemas. Considering that there was not television, no electronic devices or games, nor mobile phones, still we had a great time.Our parents enjoyed home gatherings and endless s discussion, political or other as well as poetry readings, i:e Nikos Kavadias and his poetry, a brake to the monotony of debating, all taking place in our apartment of Aristotelous 142.As a family we had the opportunity of holidaying in the nearby islands of Aegina, Hydra, Spetses, Kythnos, Paros, Mykonos and an exciting, unexpected caique trip to Mytilini in 1945.In fifth grade 1951- 2 our school was moved to a new area 'Psychico'. It was then that it was decreed by the school authorities that parties were strictly forbidden unless a teacher was present! The circular was distributed to the pupils and had to be signed by all parents,, then returned to school! Sometimes the new regulation was observed, at other times the parties were held illegally.Meantime now our "Elders" were involved in different topics during their evening gatherings. The discussions were mainly on whether the entry of Greece to NATO would be beneficial or not.The political discussions and the devaluation of the drachma was of great interest to the writer.The arguments were over Greek and Worldwide developments of the current situation in 1954. The importance and use of the "Certificates of Social Convictions". A document necessary for people seeking employment, issued by the State police authorities. These so called 'certificates' were the current hot issue between the writer's parents and their friends.We graduated from High School in July 1955.

SECOND EDITION 2023THIS VOLUME contains the principal elements preoccupying modern Psychiatry. The author introduces the reader into all mental illnesses, on the one hand through real examples deriving from his rich clinical experience and on the other explaining in simple terms the 'fault' that is the underlying cause. It is in essence an interesting investigation into the magical world of the human brain. Using easily comprehended language, the author provides convincing explanations for the diverse mental functions. The models he expounds on bring mental illness down to earth from the mists of Philosophy to the realities of Medicine. He compares schizophrenia to a minor short-circuit, and Anorexia Nervosa to the activation of a programme in reserve in the brain. He gives reasons for the necessity for sleep and dreams.Other than a doctor, however, Pavlos Sakkas is a person intensively querying social behaviour. His many years of practice of psychiatry and his experience of human pain give him the potential to be of assistance to those who arrive at crucial crossroads in their life. His charitable attitude and the unconventional viewpoints he develops provide interesting answers to the greatest existentialist questioning of human beings. He speaks of his own questioning and recounts what he answers when his patients ask him about the meaning of life.In this book the reader will be able to find useful directions to be guided in the great and thrilling journey of life: Guidelines for relations with parents, siblings, companions and one's children.The author has a way of transmitting such knowledge to his layman reader as would be envied by an experienced psychiatrist.

Constantine Ostas, a University professor is spending his holidays at his home village with his family. One very hot noon on August the 13th, he gets his books and archives and lies down in the garden under the shady pergola. There, he is overwhelmed by thoughts that turn into vivid memories and bring him back exactly twelve years ago at the same place. His memories begin from the day that he, as a graduate of the University, visits the house of his fellow villager Helen, who is a student at the School of Philosophy in the University of Athens and to whom he had been closely acquainted two years ago. Back then a mutual respect had developed between them which eventually evolved into mutual love, but without any continuation. The son of a big landowner of the village, John Kostoula was madly in love with Helen, but she rejected him discreetly. After that John tried to establish relations with Helen''s sister, Alexandra, a schoolgirl, who also rejected him. This behaviour of Helen and Alexandra turned his love for Helen into hatred against Constantine when he learned that when Constantine came to the village, he went straight to her house and then went with her for hiking tours to the rocks... The memories of the professor of his love for Helen, the behaviour of John and his shepherd, (the sly Mitros) and the deep discussions with intense lyricism and metaphor about his love for Helen are covering the first nine chapters of the novel. And so it is a kind of ''boxing'' with the past, but in the present! These memories are interrupted abruptly when the scene of the tragedy at the rocks is introduced - the death of Helen and John caused by falling rocks. Two years after Helen''s death, Constantine married her sister, Alexandra, in respect to Helen''s last wish that she shared with her father in her last breath, and acquired by this marriage a daughter of ten years, whom he named Helen. The landowner Kostoula donated half of his real estate in the area of the rocks to the church, and the other half - to the village community. Constantine bought his half estate at the rocks from the community by winning a contest a year ago. In the following chapters the lyrical and allegorical catharsis of the character is revealed. Mitros, chased by his remorse, reveals to the teacher, Constantine, that the tragedy at the rocks twelve years ago was not an "accident ", but a plan to assassinate him, which he and John had elaborated. After these revelations, the teacher decided to divide the land he had bought between the landless of the village, giving ten acres to Mitros, the killer of his beloved Helen! Also, the donated money to the community to build school with the stone from the rocks which he flattened and in their place created a garden...
