Family and Child Nutrition
There is so much pressure on parents and families now more than ever before to feed and raise ‘healthy’ children.
But, what if the information that we are given about “healthy” eating feels unattainable? What if sometimes what we are told makes children “healthy” contradicts other things we have learned or have been doing?
If you find yourself feeling burnt out, confused and overwhelmed when trying to feed your family - you are not alone.
The good news is, it does NOT have to be complicated. “Health” and “healthy eating” are multifaceted, just as the members of our families are. It is not a one-size-fits-all.
Even more importantly, the messages given to children about nutrition are often far outside of their control and beyond what they are developmentally able to understand.
In fact, we hear this so often in eating disorder care: messages given to us when we are young stick with us, even as our brains develop.
If you are interested in developing sustainable eating habits for you and your family that are straight forward and personalized to your family - you have come to the right place.
