  " Peppered with humor any parent will appreciate, Bayardelle’s book is a must-have." Literary Titan recently reviewed Clean Your Plate! by Liz Bayardelle and gave it 5 stars. The reviewer writes, in part -- "I love the breakdown the author gives in each chapter. She doesn’t simply tell us the bit of advice; she analyzes the psychology behind why we say what we do to our children. In addition, Bayardelle explains what the research reveals our kids actually hear when we utter those famous words over and over. It’s a fantastic approach to parental reading. One of the most spot-on aspects of Bayardelle’s writing is the parenting-versus-reality tone she takes. Both the writing and scenarios are incredibly relatable and will be appreciated by readers in all stages of parenting." Read the rest of the review HERE .
