With Heidi Smith
*Please not this session was originally scheduled for May 6 2024

This interactive workshop series will focus on supporting children’s well-being and development through promoting positive experiences with food. This three-part series will include sessions that provide strategies for nurturing children’s healthy development, mindful eating practices, as well as bringing joy back to the table.

Session 2: Mindful Meals; Monday May 6, 2024, 6:30-8:00pm
Mealtimes with children present us with both challenges and opportunities – challenges to not impart unhealthy practices or relationships with food onto the children in our care; and opportunities to infuse gratitude, joy, and intention into mealtimes. Eating is something we do several times a day, often without much thought or awareness of the impacts to our health, our planet, and our emotional well-being. Guided by the practice of mindfulness, eating can become an experience filled with joy and gratitude, which, when shared with children, can foster empowerment, good health, and sustainable practices. Through an introduction to mindfulness, a mindful eating experience, and a new understanding of the power of the plate, participants will develop strategies to incorporate mindfulness practices into mealtimes with children.

Sponsored through funding provided by Niagara Region Children’s Services.

This registration is for Session 2 in the series only.
