Packing Lunchboxes with Children’s Nutritionist, Simone Emery

Saturday 19 January 2019. 11am – 12pm. $20.

Join us in The Back Room for a morning presentation on lunch box packing with Simone Emery, children’s nutritionist, writer and guest speaker.

We will be talking about the nutritional, ergonomic and logistic factors associated with the school lunchbox. Simone will give you relatable information about fussy eating, working with your children to provide nutritious lunces and how to make lunches easier for your family.

Simone Emery started Play with Food in 2012 whilst on maternity leave. Play with Food was born from her passion for helping children enjoy food and build a positive relationship with food. Lunchboxes are a big part of a school day preparation for many busy families. We dive into how to take the stress out of them, especially with fussy eaters. Eating involves so much learning! And eating different foods is hard work in a busy, exciting world for kids. Attending Simone’s non-judgemental, experience based and holistic talk, will help you feel confident across the bumps and jolts of providing a lunchbox five days a week.

Come and join us in The Back Room and gain more tools for your parenting tool box to help with lunchbox packing.
