And what about life after baby food? Gone are the days when you could just open a jar, and your baby would just open wide for the spoon, regardless of what was on it. Whether you are struggling with a picky eater or just fresh out of meal ideas (or some combination of the two), our classes can help. We offer the information, support and ideas parents need to foster good eating habits in their toddlers and young children, and lay the groundwork for a lifetime of healthy food choices.

Specific courses include:

Transitioning to Table Food - Children who will gladly eat everything from carrots to bananas to green beans in baby food form often become more monochromatic in their tastes when the time comes to transition to table food. It's all too easy for parents to fall into a "menu rut," serving their children the same meal again and again. In this class, we help parents get out of that rut, smoothing the transition to table food with ideas for fun, nutritious food that's easy to prepare and kid-approved.

Thinking Outside the (Lunch) Box - Want to get out of the pb&j rut? Learn to mix it up and make sure your kids eat well even during school hours with our pointers and recipes for making creative, appetizing and nutritious school lunches your kids will love.

Solving the Picky Eater Puzzle - Getting a picky eater to eat right isn't just perplexing-for many families, it's an everyday, every-meal struggle. In this class, we discuss ways to break the impasse by looking at the psychological roots of picky eating and presenting creative ideas for getting kids to eat right.
