How to simplify picky eating
It’s the bane of parents’ existences: Picky eating. And while some children are certainly pickier than most, most moms and dads worry whether their kids regularly consume a variety of nutrients – and in the right quantities! – for optimal growth and development.
What kids eat matters, and so this week I’m speaking with a certified nutritionist to help us both understand and simplify all the intricacies around feeding our children.
My guest is Kaitlin Cushman. Kaitlin is the Director of Product Development and Education for Healthy Height, a nutritional shake to help kids grow.
