Workshop Description
Does your centre care for children who are always tired, have trouble focusing, are anxious, or express themselves in a challenging way? This workshop will explore possible links between nutrition and children's behaviours, mental health, and learning. We will discuss some of the possible causes of these struggles as well as healthier alternatives to popular foods, how to monitor potential food allergies, and the side effects and nutrient depletions of medications that are commonly prescribed to children. Participants will walk away from this workshop better equipped to take a holistic view to help guiding each child to more optimal health.
