Children’s Nutrition

1 in 3 children born from the year 2000 is going to develop type 2 diabetes. We have more overweight and obese children in the world right now than starving children. We are seeing astonishing numbers of allergies, asthma, eczema, autoimmune disorders, chronic infections, weak immune systems, children’s cancers, attention disorders, autism and diabetes in very young kids.

Even though our medical infrastructure and care has improved significantly, we are still seeing a trend that our children are getting sicker and sicker. Lack of activity (generation ipad), processed, chemical-ridden and genetically modified food that have very little nutrients in them are the main culprits.

My aim is to educate you, the parent, and provide the tools needed to bring your children to WANT to eat healthy, to WANT to make smart and healthy food choices because they will understand how important it is for their body, their health and their future.

As parents we invest endless effort, time, consideration, money and attention to our children. We teach them to read, to write, to draw, to be polite, to ask questions, to listen…. We send them to ballet, art, maths, judo, piano. We explain to them how things work, we take them traveling but most of us do not teach them how to eat healthy. Kids also need to learn about food. What to eat, how to prepare it and what is good for them. Who needs to teach them this? YOU!!!!

When we go out of our way to serve children only food that they are likely to eat, or make a big deal about their limited food selections, our actions, and sometimes our words, are saying I don’t think you have the ability to become a good eater. Children, already apprehensive about eating certain foods, will lose confidence in their ability to try, experience and accept new foods.

I will work with you to improve your kid’s nutrition but also on how you can model the behaviour you want for your child in terms of eating. It is important to let them know you believe in them 100% and to keep giving them plenty of opportunities to make healthy choices in a supportive environment.
