This 2 hour workshop is for both parents "to be" and parents of infants/toddlers (0-2 year). It aims to provide practical information about feeding infants and coping with common feeding problems to ensure optimum nutrition, growth and health. Feedback from the Limerick workshop held 18th May 2016: "The fact that Anne is a mother and has gone through weaning/feeding herself is good" "The information was given in a clear way that was easy to understand" "Lots of questions and answers which is handy" Preschool Healthy Eating Workshop. The preschool years are widely recognised by health professionals as a critical time during which the foundation of good health and the prevention of disease is established for later life through the provision of good nutrition. However, it is also a time when young children like to assert their independence and mealtimes can become a battleground! This 2 hour workshop is for parents of preschool children (aged 2-5 years) who would like to learn more about feeding their children and coping with common feeding problems to ensure optimum nutrition, growth and health. Topics covered include: •Healthy eating for preschool children- what foods and how much? •Common feeding/nutritional problems, e.g. fussy eating, constipation, anaemia •Establishing happy mealtimes •Being Active •Budgeting and meal planning Feedback from Limerick workshop held on 25th May 2016: "I attended the nutrition workshop last night for 2 - 5 year olds and it was very informative and well run evening. Got some great ideas and tips from Anne. I would highly recommend these workshops" - Jennifer, Mum of 3 year old "Set-up, introductions, the agenda sent before hand, the opportunity to outline what I wanted from the course and hear what others were looking for from the course. The visuals of the portion sizes on the plates, the amount of info covered and the books and leaflets provided when we left. I thought it was all very thorough and I am very particular on meeting outputs ( it's what I do). Really super value for money. It expanded my thinking but also gave me a comfort level that I was doing ok too. Very non-judgemental and comfortable. " - Natalie, Mum of 20 month old "Loved the fact that Anne was so open and has children herself so could relate to our problems" - Anne, Mum of 2 & 4 year olds
