I’ve had so many parents ask about age-appropriate nutrition books for kids, so we will be reviewing some of them here on the podcast today. Books are a great gateway for our children to learn about nutrition in an engaging and non-pressurized way, which I believe is the best way to get the younger members of our families more involved and making better and more informed choices.

[Download my FREE checklist How to Nourish a Healthy Child. It outlines the key nutrition, feeding and healthy habits every child needs to grow up healthy!]

On the show this week we have registered dietitian Shanon Morris: author of MC Veggie Fresh Rocks the Mic, a fun way of introducing our children to the world of nutrition without then having to try to understand a lot of the complicated and conflicting information out there. I also have an extensive reading list of wonderful resources for children that I have compiled to make this information more accessible, and eventually more intuitive for them.

Tune in this week for a wealth of resources that will help the whole family really get involved with making conscious decisions around food. I’m also sharing details of a workshop to promote healthy, happy family mealtimes.

What You’ll Learn about Nutrition Books for Kids:

• Why the books I’m sharing today are such a useful and empowering resource for children.
• How we can equip our kids with the tools they need to cope with stress around health and nutrition.
• What Shanon wants to achieve through her book.
• How the idea of MC Veggie Fresh developed and became the book it is.
• The importance of the storyline in Shanon’s book for keeping kids engaged and making the information relatable.
• How parents can make the kitchen a less daunting place for younger kids.
• What does not work when trying to teach children about nutrition.
