What others said about this webinar:

Loved this. We have a couple of picky eaters in our centre at the moment and this webinar is exactly what I needed to hear. Will definitely recommend to others.
— JENNIFER
The information about non-feeding exposure was a big eye opener to how we can help children to develop better eating habits and expose them to different food without having the food.
— JESSIKAH
This webinar really and actually helped me to understand why we need to support children's eating and how we should do to foster a healthy way to eat. We don't push children to eat; we provide food and let children decide what they want to eat. Let them have this agency and autonomy.
