PreK farmers market - Feb 2014

JTA Wellness has the privilege of providing nutrition education to preschoolers and parents on site at Pre-K SA. Krista Neugebauer and Sam Lopez hosted an educational table for parents where they discussed how to combat picky eaters at the dinner table. They encouraged parents to remember, even though it is difficult, food is not a reward nor the enemy. Recipe’s designed specifically for picky eaters were handed out to encourage creativity when serving vegetables. Tips on how to involve little ones in the kitchen safely as well as making food fun were also discussed. Lastly, samples of zucchini and hummus were provided to encourage preschoolers and adults to try new foods. This event was a huge success!
