About Me

My photo
I'm not a nutritionist. I'm not a personal trainer. And I'm certainly not a pediatritian. I'm just a Mom who wants her child to grow up strong, healthy, and smart. That's why, when my daughter was born, I set out to learn everything I could about the possible effects of the things we feed our children. I have learned that you can send your child to the best school in the nation, but if they don't have the ability to pay attention...it really doesn't matter. This forum is dedicated to all the busy parents out there who don't have the time to research everything that goes into their child's body.

Talk Up Healthy Eating

The more your child knows about nutritious foods, the better choices she'll make. Get her involved in grocery shopping! I have done this since my daughter was a toddler & now do it with a friend's daughter whom I watch.

We will talk about whether this or that food has lot's of sugar in it. Or does it help your eyes or your tummy or your bones etc, etc,... It is a fun way of getting kids to think about what they put in their boddies & how it may or may not benefit them.

Next time you're at the store with your little ones, give it a shot. It can be a lot of fun & it might be a bit of an eye openner when you realize how much they may or may not know!
