Picky Eaters: There is help!

Helping kids develop healthy eating habits. (Part 3)

Well this week the tip I have to share fairly simple and highly effective. This is a technique I stumbled on somewhat unexpectedly, although I must say, had I really taken time to stop and recall past experiences, I would have realized the power of this technique and put it to use much sooner.

Have you ever tried to ask your spouse to do something another way, only to have your voice fall on deaf ears or end up in an argument? Well getting picky eaters to try new foods, or just eat a healthy balanced meal, can have exactly the same result. I recall many mealtimes that were filled with negotiations and arguments, prior to learning skills for dealing with this challenge.

So this week’s tip is: Let someone else help! Bringing your kids to one of our hand’s on cooking classes, allows them to interact with and learn directly from our nutrition experts. Inspiration and ownership of what they eat, along with the power to choose for themselves, results in an entirely new perspective for them – eating healthy food is no longer a chore, but rather a source of fun and pleasure.

Kids are welcome to attend our workshops and encouraged to be active participants. The enthusiasm of the kids as they participate often results in the parents being asked to stand back let the kids take charge of creating the recipes for you to eat. Nice reversal of roles isn’t it? So join us as we host workshop throughout the spring and summer. Sit back, relax and watch the magic happen.

Our next workshop is this Tuesday, May 25th. Contact us for more details;
