My Number One Child Nutrition Tip For Parents


As a Holistic Nutrition Consultant, here's my number one child nutrition tip for parents.

It's this...

Keep your child's blood sugars stable throughout the day.

It seems simple, but how often do we simply feed our kids cereal for breakfast or give them fruit as a snack or fuel them up on lots of packaged foods throughout the day?

None of which is inherently bad. And sometimes as parents, time is of the essence, so convenience foods are very helpful.

But for the most part, many kids:

  • Start the day hungry because they didn't have a balanced breakfast.
  • Get to lunch time hungry because they filled up on empty snacks in the morning.
  • Eat a carb-heavy breakfast with little protein.
  • Don't have enough healthy fats in their diet.
  • Have too much sugar throughout the day.
  • And don't stay hydrated enough.

Sound a bit like your child?

It's okay, because I've been there too.

One thing that has helped me with balancing my child's blood sugar is by always pairing my child's snack with a protein and fat.

Take a piece of fruit for example. It's natural (tick), it's healthy (tick), but it will spike your child's blood sugar without any sort of protein or fat paired with it.

Whenever I give my kids' fruit, I like to pair it with some cheese or nut butter.

Keeping your child's blood sugar throughout the day is actually simpler than you might think.

I just listened to a podcast (that was really insightful) about hormone health. And the woman spoke a lot about sugar. It’s important to talk about, but can be so confusing. Should we eat sugar? How much is too much? Are natural sugars okay to eat? The woman on the podcast does not eat any sugar (maybe apart from fruit) and honestly, it made me feel defeated. Like I was doing the wrong thing for eating any sugar at all, even being the health conscious gal that I am. But hear me out, no sugar...

I gotta be honest, this week was one of the most painful weeks of my life. I discovered something that could have shattered my whole world as I knew it. And it’s been the strangest thing having to carry grief while still showing up for my kids. So instead of seizing pockets of time throughout the day to process and grieve, I booked an Airbnb at a little bungalow down the south coast of New South Wales, packed my things and left to go on a 24 hour stay by myself…for the first time ever. I sat...

I have four kiddos, ages 8, 6, 3 and 1. They are just like most other kids. They love eating snacks. They love anything processed and artificial. And they once came running up to me every 20 minutes asking for snacks. It would make me bonkers! I’m sure you can relate. I used to think that they were just hungry all the time, until it dawned on me that I was only filling their bellies temporarily, not nourishing their bodies. One day, I started to make changes. I wasn’t doubling my grocery list...
