In this episode, we'll cover essential topics that every parent should know:

2. Reducing white foods: Discover strategies to balance the much loved “white diet” with higher fibre whole grains, proteins, and good fats to stabilise your child's energy levels.

3. Smart breakfast choices: Find ways to offer nutritious breakfast options tailored to your child's preferences.

4. Balancing sugar intake: Understand the importance of low sugar NOT “no sugar” and how to teach children how to have a healthy relationships with treat foods.

5. Persistence with new foods: Learn why it's crucial not to give up on offering diverse foods, even if your child initially refuses them.
