First Step Nutrition will be participating in Full Circle Parenting’s Makin’ Mama Happy Series. The topic of this session will be Inspiring Your Child’s Relationship with Food, and here are the details:

We at Full Circle Parenting know that if Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!  That’s why we created the Makin’ Mama Happy series, where we introduce you to experts and practitioners in a variety of fields whose combined insight can create powerful and positive shifts in your life.

Our second event is all about INSPIRING YOUR CHILD’S RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD.  We know that food issues are one of the leading causes of worry in moms.  From the newborn with latching difficulties to picky toddlers, to uneaten lunches for school-aged children, through teenagers with eating disorders, food issues can create a host of anxieties.  Our goal is to give you lots of perspective, and lots of ideas to give your children the best chance at a healthy, stress-free relationship with food AND to bring about more of what every Mama needs: happiness.

JOIN US on Wednesday, June 23rd, from 6:30 to 7:30pm at Planet Organic Market North (4625 Varsity Dr. NW, at Shaganappi),  to meet our panelists who will bring together three perspectives to help you solve food issues in your family.

Here are our three panelists:

Yulit Price of Composing Lives, mom of 2 and psychologist. Yulit, a member of the Association of Research on Mothering, knows that food is central in establishing family rituals, opening communications, and strengthening connections, and that a mom’s relationship with food has a lifelong effect on her children. Yulit is passionate about supporting mothers and adolescent girls, and has worked with women experiencing emotional eating, as well as eating disorders. Yulit empowers mothers to find their voices, explore their everyday struggles and needs, and to clarify their real cravings and true aspirations for their lives.

Jennifer House of First Step Nutrition, mom of 1 (and one on the way), and Registered Dietitian. Jennifer is passionate about nutrition for families, and about resolving issues with  pregnancy-related concerns, postpartum and breastfeeding, picky eating, and allergies. If you need help figuring out what to eat and offer to your children, how to plan those meals, or even where to find what you need in the grocery store, Jen is on call!  Find out more at www.firststepnutrition.com.

Lisa Kathleen of Full Circle Parenting, single mom, former teacher and school administrator turned parenting coach and parent educator. Lisa Kathleen will bring keen insight into the dynamics of parent-child interactions around food, as well as immediately applicable ideas that will create positive shifts in your experiences with your children. Lisa Kathleen is thrilled to bring you this powerful panel discussion along with two people whose brains she loves to pick!  Find out more at www.fullcircleparenting.com.

Papas and babes in arms are welcome.

You will receive a special gift from each of our panelists, each worth greater than the value of your ticket price.
