The Reading Bug

Part of our new Parenting Series, join us for a lecture with nutritionist Suzanne Tennis.  The topic will be "How to Help Your Kids Eat Balanced Meals: Dealing With Under & Over Eaters".

Dr. Tennis sees parents most troubled by picky eaters and also by kids that never stop eating! The solutions to both these extreme type of eating behaviors are the same. During the event, we will go over guidelines for parents that will help them teach their children about the reasons behind food groupings, meal timing issues, appetite regulation, green food phobia syndrome (hum...), and creating complex carb/protein combinations that work forthe family. Most importantly, Dr. Tennis will discuss the dynamics between parents and kids as related to role modeling, control issues, and emotional eating. The focus of the talk will be simplicity and solutions.
