20.01.2022 What is a balanced meal? It's your job to choose and prepare the meal. Children don't choose a 'balanced' meal however, in the long run, they will learn to eat what you eat.

16.01.2022 Halloween is coming up again soon. Here's my advice for dealing with the stash of treats. https://www.familyfoodworks.com.au//what-to-do-with-the-/

16.01.2022 Please think twice before giving your child an activity tracker. It could be that you are setting your child up for disordered eating in the future. "I recently overheard a little girl tell her friend that she was having ice-cream for dessert but only if she met her daily steps goal on her Fitbit."

15.01.2022 Is your child with autism struggling to eat? If you answered yes, this webinar is for you.

10.01.2022 As the warmer weather is approaching, it's good to get some advice from an expert on food safety.

09.01.2022 'Saying no, helps children feel safe'

09.01.2022 It's time to let children play and explore without telling them what to do

08.01.2022 This study is another harmful attempt to 'get' adolescents to loose weight. How about focusing on family meals which we know improve adolescents overall health and wellbeing.

07.01.2022 Do you have a food aversion. Here's some advice from some experts on why you may have a food aversion and how to handle it. https://www.theatlantic.com//how-to-like-food-you-/582985/

07.01.2022 The Australian Society of Immunology and Allergy has updated their infant feeding for allergy prevention guidelines. Here are the main recommendations: - When the infant is ready, at around 6 months, but not before 4 months, start to introduce a variety of solid foods. (This is not a strict window of introduction but rather a recommendation not to delay the introduction of solid foods beyond 12 months.) - Introduce peanut and egg in the first year of life in all infants, regardless of their allergy risk factors. - Hydrolysed (partially and extensively) formula is no longer recommended for the prevention of allergic disease

05.01.2022 Many children are at risk of developing a negative body image. If a child is not 'average' or is different from what is considered the norm, they may be singled out. I came across a new book, 'Love your Body' by Australian author, Jessica Saunders, which is a great resource for parents to help children, particularly girls, to develop a positive body image.

04.01.2022 When someone (doctor, nurse) tells you your child is overweight, ask them to show you their growth chart...

02.01.2022 Parents, please don't use the Weight Watchers Kurbo app for your child. Children need to feel that their parents love them, whatever size they are, whatever body shape they have.

02.01.2022 Just because your child doesn't like certain foods now, doesn't mean they will never eat them.

01.01.2022 Have a laugh....

01.01.2022 'What does healthy really mean' In this podcast, ESI faculty member Jennifer Harris talks with the eating disorders specialists from the Full Bloom Project about the components of eating competence, and how parents/carers can best foster positive attitudes and behaviors in children. News flash - it isn't by stressing over what your child is or isn't eating! https://www.fullbloomproject.com/podcast-episodes/healthy... "Getting too bogged down in food rules is a barrier to getting meals on the table," Jenny reminds us. For a gentle but comprehensive discussion of the Ellyn Satter approach, take a listen to this 26-minute gem.
