Here’s what you’ll hear:
1. The Vegetable Dilemma: I discuss the age-old struggle of kids eating veggies and the frustration parents encounter when attempting to incorporate vegetables into their children's diet.
2. The pressure cooker: Exploring the immense pressure parents put on their kids during mealtime and how it affects the overall dining experience. I explore ways to ease the stress and make mealtimes enjoyable.
3.Personal Tales: I share a glimpse into my own experience as a parent, including the nightly ritual of discovering untouched veggie compartments in my son's lunchbox.
4. Nutrient Breakdown Delving into the nutritional value of vegetables, from vitamins and minerals to fibre and phytochemicals. Discover alternative sources of these essential nutrients if veggies aren't on the menu.
