Healthy Eating Habits for Children (a workshop designed for parents)
Are you pulling your hair out trying to get your children to eat healthy food?
Do you find yourself disguising the “good stuff” amongst the “not so good stuff” in the hope that it will get eaten and not seen?
Knowing what’s best for our children and what to avoid, can at times be confusing and frustrating.
If you’d like to learn more about children’s eating habits, food choices and how to support your children as they grow and develop then join Kim Bishop from Yu Food + Lifestyle and hear her talk on:
- 10 tips to developing healthy eating habits in children from an early age
- 10 healthy snack ideas and easy to make recipes for you and the children to prepare
- the different qualities of milk: raw, pasteurized, homogenized, mother’s milk, cows milk, goats milk and soy milk
- foods and additives that should be removed from your children’s diet
- food as medicine and the benefits of seasonal eating
The workshop will conclude with a Q&A session, tea, coffee and light refreshments.

Read what some of the other Parents have had to say about attending these workshops:
"I was a little sceptical about attending Kim's workshop at first because I already have a good understanding about food, nutrition and health. But I was pleasantly surprised - Kim gave me plenty of new information and ideas about feeding my children a healthy diet, how children's bodies use food and how to help my children develop healthy eating habits. I loved her focus on using simple wholefoods and her explanation of how artificial additives and food processing effect our bodies. The workshop was informative, practical and inspiring and I recommend it to all parents who care about their children's diet - thanks Kim! "

After Kim's workshop I felt inspired to go home, clean out my cupboards and fridge and start a new healthy eating focus!
Tracy (Melbourne Ag 09)
An informative session and great dietary advice on the effects of the different seasons on our body. A good exchange of information and very interactive.
Margaret (Melbourne April 09)
An informative and useful workshop. Very interesting and practical.
Catherine (Melbourne April 09)
It was so refreshing to hear someone talk about the importance of nourishment and how it supports our lives.

A passionate presenter with a lot of information. You have inspired me to investigate more about what I put into my body.
Anonymous (Melbourne May 09)
I really liked the way Kim spoke about the seasons, the organs and food to support the seasons and the information she
gave us on additives. A great mix of information. Thank you.
Barbara (Melbourne May 09)
Very good and super value. Friendly and well organised.
Victor (Melbourne May 09)
I am so glad I came to your talk. Thank you so much, we women (and men) need a nudge every now and then to think of ourselves.
Anonymous (Melbourne May 09)
Having partnered with a professional coach over the last six to eight months I was open to the idea of working with a Lifestyle Coach only I wasn't sure what one was..........and so began my beautiful journey of learning and initiating life altering modifications.
You could be forgiven for thinking a Lifestyle Coach sounds as if it is something from Hollywood; this however couldn't be further from the truth! Each of my sessions (undertaken by telephone due to residing interstate) were done with such passion, enthusiasm, support, professionalism, [life] wisdom and in such a grounded manner that if you have half of the experience I did then your life like mine will be exceptionally richer.
To the gorgeous Ms. Kim, I say the hugest 'thank you' for allowing me into your life and sharing your time with me and, I send all of my love and best wishes for everything that is yet to come. [I love you; I am sorry; Please Forgive Me; Thankyou]
Terri-Lee (Brisbane June 09)
You have a real gift and the ability to affect the lives of others in the most positive way. Thank you a million times again. You're a gorgeous
woman and an inspiration.
Catherine (Melbourne July 09)
Hi Kim,
I just want to say how lovely it was to meet you. You have a lovely, calm yet dynamic energy, and it was a joy to share the retreat with you. It was great fun cooking with you, and I'm looking forward to recreating your recipes - in fact I did the chicken for my husband last night! I'm already looking forward to next time!
Becky (England - Jan 09)
I was telling my husband that I was wrapped with the fact that I didn't have any sugar cravings at all for the days of the retreat. I thought we ate pretty well but I learnt/got a reminder on some good basics of eating portions in particular. Plus loved the stuff on the Chi clock.
Kirsty (Brisbane - Jan 09)
I will be changing a couple of things in our household - using butter not margarine, microwaving nothing, eating porridge for brekkie, no low fat stuff. All simple things to do - thanks for your advice.
Scott (Brisbane - Jan 09)
Thank you so much for all you gave at the retreat.
It was lovely to meet someone who encourages people to think consciously about food rather than taking a "you shouldn't eat this, and this, and this" kind of approach.
Elizabeth (Brisbane - Jan 09)
Thanks very much for Saturday it really was perfect - I have no suggestions for improvement!
Very casual, fun, interactive and some really interesting info. The desserts tasted delicious and it was divided up amongst 30 plates so we all got a piece with the yogurt. Perfect!
Kelly (Melbourne Cooking Workshop)
It was great to meet you I really do look forward to working closely with you, you have something very special to offer people and I don't just mean your skills! have a great day
Many thanks
Brooke (Melbourne - Individual Program)
Kim has a wonderful personality, is down to earth and outgoing. She is interesting, knowledgeable and so welcoming. The food
we prepared was simple and stunning.
