Nourishing Our Children: Traditional Foods for the Modern Child
Date: Sunday, April 1, 2:00-4:30pm (presentation 2:00-3:30, Q&A and snacks 3:30-4:30)
Tickets: $10.00/$15.00 per couple
Location: 206 East 11th St (basement level), Manhattan
Online registration is available by clicking here.
This seminar answers the question "Can children be well-fed but malnourished?" by offering an in-depth look at the true nutritional needs of the growing child and the dangers of depleted modern foods, including many labeled as "natural" and "organic."
Parents' group coleaders Hannah Springer, MS, HHC, and Lucia Ruedenberg-Wright, PhD, will examine the historical significance of many foods that are now vilified as dangerous and unhealthy, and explain why a return to a traditional, nutrient-dense diet is crucial for returning our youngest generations to health and vitality. They will share dietary principles to create optimal nutrition, behavior and learning for children. The workshop will cover ideas for traditional, nutrient-dense meals to guide parents in nourishing rather than merely feeding their children, and will provide time for a group discussion of strategies for raising healthy eaters.
Handouts will be provided and nutrient-dense traditional snacks will be served. The whole family is encouraged to attend! We will have 1-2 teenage babysitters there to assist with childcare and would appreciate a 5.00 donation per family at the door (if you plan to take advantage of this service).Traditional Foods Cooking Workshop
To be held in June in Manhattan
