SFP 101: How I Feed My Family

Published: April 3, 2018, 6:01 a.m.

In our house, mealtimes are pleasant. My kids eat well and we enjoy each others company. I don\u2019t have it all figured out, but I do have a Ph.D. in Child Development with a research background in child wellness. That means I use a combination of both research-based ideas and intuitive planning to help develop my kids into good-eaters. Not all these things are going to resonate with you and work for your family\u2013but they have surely worked for mine.\n\nWant to join in this discussion for the month of April as we talk all things food + family?
