Raising confident, happy, healthy kids in this diet-obsessed culture is hard work! The messages children get about food and bodies at home shape the foundations for what they feel and believe about their own body.
This workshop troubleshoots common nutrition problems and offers practical strategies for building a positive relationship with food and body.
