Have you ever wondered, "How can I get my kids to eat more x or less y?" "How can I stop negotiating about dessert?" "Will my kids EVER eat real food?" Then join this workshop, which will address the basics of how to think about feeding your family, from grocery shopping to the lunch box to the dinner table. Come learn some tricks for teaching your kids the right lessons about food (hint: it doesn't have to be complicated) - and how to keep your sanity along the way!
