For Parents
As parents, we have an incredible job of raising the next generation of eaters, food growers & cultivators. Teaching our kids about food quality, choice making, and positive habits can set them up as stronger, healthier humans long-term.
Working with Autism
It is more common than not to come across autistic/neurodiverse children (and adults) who have subtle or severe eating challenges. Autism comes with hypersensitivities and sensory preferences of all kinds, food flavours and textures being some of these. It turns out that simply spending some time in the kitchen with these individuals, exploring textures, flavours, mixing, chopping, and supporting curiosity with food and food creation, makes quite a big difference.
Halloween Candy Alternatives
While I am ALL FOR the kids having a fantastic Halloween experience, I struggle deeply with the overwhelming role of chemical laden candy. Anything that we can do as parents to help educate our kids and provide better options makes a big impact (more than you realize). Providing better Halloween treat alternatives for your kids & the kids in your community, sets a great example and is something that you can feel really good about!
Helping Your Teen Pack Their Own Lunch
While it may not feel too comfortable to pass along the responsibility of lunch packing to your teen, giving them more responsibility and autonomy over their lives and their food, sets them up better long term! Here are my best Mom & Nutritionist tips to support a smooth transfer and ensure good quality & a well-rounded lunch box.
why Teaching Youth About Plant Based Options is Vital to Their Future
As parents & educators, adult role models & mentors, it is our job to be there for our teens in every way that we can; to support them through the toughest times, to give them independance & guidance continuously, and to be their outlet for security & inspiration.
Good food is one of the BEST ways to support our teens in all the ways.
