I help young parents and early years practitioners raise healthy eaters and confident children.Good food and balanced nutrition play an important part in the overall development of a child. My expertise lies in helping children make smart food choices and develop positive relationship with food. As an experienced leader, I have built teams of early years practitioners, set up and managed early years provisions and nurtured scores of children to blossom to their best potential. (www.grandmagrandpas.com)Post COVID I have taken a plunge into the world of food blogging. My blog (https://mygoodfoodworld.com) has a growing collection of easy and nutritious vegetarian, vegan and allergy friendly recipes, time saving meal prep ideas, cooking guides and meal plans. Parents, as the first and most enduring educators, and early years practitioners play a crucial role in shaping the personality, preferences - including food choices - and the learning journey of a child. My workshops help them bring out the best potential in their children. Having worked with children from all over the world (as many as 14 nationalities!) with varied food preferences, allergies and intolerances- including fussy and picky eaters - I have gained a wealth of experience in helping parents solve their mealtime battles (and other parenting woes!)

Listed skills include Training, Curriculum Design, Early Childhood Education, Staff Development, and 12 others.
