Your Longevity Blueprint Greatest Hits: Get Your Kiddos in the Kitchen! with Katie Kimball
There’s no point in avoiding it: kids’ meals these days are not healthy! They’re full of ultra-processed ingredients that are not nutritionally balanced to give our kids what they need to grow healthy and strong. Katie Kimball joins me to talk about how to get your kids to eat healthier, even when they’re picky, and the importance of getting them into the kitchen to start cooking for themselves.
Get Kids in the Kitchen by
- Developing skills over recipes
- Not bringing them in to help right before mealtime until they have the skills
- Encouraging their contribution to the meal
