'Raising young children who will thrive with food they eat' with Dr Flavia Fayet-Moore

NOVA

Despite nutrition having a profound effect on the body and mind of children, nutrition education for the early years is lacking in Australia. Every day, we make multiple decisions on what to eat, and what to feed our children. Education is not only about knowledge sharing, it’s about turning the knowing into doing. The early years are an opportune time to set eating habits for life. It’s the longest relationship that humans will ever have, and it’s time we empower parents, educators and children to create a positive relationship with food for life. If you want to be empowered with the how of nutrition education, then you’ll not want to miss Dr Flav’s (Flavia Fayet-Moore) talk about Food is Cool, and feeding children in the early years.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/drflav/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Flavia Fayet-Moore</a> (Dr. Flav) PhD, MNutDiet, BSc(Honours), APD, RNutr, FASLM will be joined by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alissa-patacic/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alissa Patacic</a>, founder of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/flourishcooperative/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Flourish Cooperative</a>, based in Armidale who has created a space for mothers. <ul><li>All welcome.
