Welcome to the second part of a re-run of a 3-part mini series I made a couple of years ago on the connection between your child's diet and their mental health.
In today's video I share information on the best foods your child can eat and include:
- the top 3 nutrients essential for positive mental health
- tips for introducing healthier foods into your child's diet
- a simple recipe for a healthy, sweet snack for your family (see below)
- why a healthy diet doesn't have to be expensive
Links mentioned in the video are shared below this post.
I'll be back again next week for the final part of the mini-series where I explore the issue of comfort eating, and what to do if you think your child is using food to avoid having to really experience their 'big' feelings.
Warmest wishes
