Raising a Healthy Eater
Pasta and chicken fingers again? If you're working hard to expand your child's palate but feel like you are getting nowhere, you will learn useful tools to use after attending this workshop. Taste, temperature, texture, color, preconceived notions and parental pushing all have impact over your child's willingness to try new foods. Learn what works (and what doesn't) to limit mealtime struggles. Joanna holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Special Education and a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Development. She holds two MA teacher certifications, is a certified children’s yoga instructor, and is a certified health counselor. Most importantly she is a teacher who became a mother and knows the joys and struggles of motherhood. The journey of motherhood made her realize the importance and need of supporting mothers and their children.
