So you’ve made it through infancy and toddlerhood now on to more free focused time for kids and parents alike! School aged kids are a lot of fun, their increasing independence, thriving personality, and even more clearly stated opinions than their toddler-selves. Common concerns during this age group include encouraging flexibility especially with lunches, supporting age-appropriate weight gain, and how to support kids’ healthy eating habits as they grow and mature. One big issue I focus on with clients during this age is getting kids more involved in food tasks and using food as a vehicle for learning and play! Check out some of these posts below to learn more about feeding your child with confidence.
