 A Laissez-faire Approach to Brussel Sprouts
Birch, professor and head of human development and family studies at Penn State, has been studying children's eating behaviors for more than 15 years.
Birch's findings suggest that while parents may become frustrated if their child has a sweet tooth or eats exclusively peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, these behaviors are natural and ultimately reveal a self-regulation of energy intake.
While Birch admits that it takes a persistent parent to handle the 8-10 exposures that are required for a child to achieve familiarity with a food, the effects on the child are positive and long-lasting.

Birch noted that about 65% of the mothers in her study are overweight, and the researchers have seen that maternal restriction in this group is quite strongly related to eating in the absence of hunger over time and to daughters' increases in BMI.

George Harrar's taut psychological drama, ''The Spinning Man,'' occurs almost exclusively in the mind of Evan Birch, a professor in the troubled philosophy department in a small-town college.
And quite a mind it is, as Birch dissects Wittgenstein, volleys lovingly with his wife over Proust, comforts their twin 10-year-old sons, and takes notice of the peculiar habits of his female students.
Whatever tensions exist in the Birch household seem unremarkable -- until he's pulled over by the local police, handcuffed in front of the two startled boys, dragged to the precinct house, and told he's been spotted at the place where a 16-year-old cheerleader recently went missing.
