As a conscientious parent you want your kids to eat less processed foods, more veggies, less sugar as well as a nice variety of healthy foods. Our guest is here to you us that it's do-able. What's the disconnect between what we want for our kids, what we know, and making it happen.
It's lack of support. Our culture doesn't support it, our lifestyle doesn't support it and to be totally honest, sometimes our own eating habits aren't the best role models for our kids.
So let's make the shift that changes the culture. And, let's start with the culture at home. For sure we want to change the way society feeds kids, but let's focus with your own dinner table first.
Our first step is about shifting our children's thoughts about their diet. You can't force your kids on this journey of healthy eating, you have to make it a trip they won't want to miss.
We can have the intention, the desire and even the tools to feed our kids healthy food, but if they are not "bought in" to the idea of eating healthy, we won't get far.
Instead of being the food police, be an advocate for your families wellness.
