The Eat Well Guide

 

Exposing our little ones to a wide variety of food source, that is high in nutrients and offers a balanced and healthy diet can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when we have fussy eaters.

The Eat Well Guide offers guidance and advice to families in how we can get the balance right.

When should I use the Eatwell Guide?

You can use the Eatwell Guide to help you make healthier choices whenever you’re:
• deciding what to eat
• at home cooking
• out shopping for groceries
• eating out in a restaurant, café or canteen
• choosing food on the go
Aim to fill your trolley with a healthy balance of different types of food.

 

 

** Triple P tip sheet and advice on supporting fussy eating habits are available on request.

 

 

Toilet/Potty Training

When it comes to toilet training, there is a huge amount of conflicting information out there:

  • Use pull ups/don’t use pull ups.
  • Take your child every 30mins/don’t take your children every 30mins.
  • Put a nappy on your child during the night or for long journey’s/don’t ever put a nappy on your child again.
  • Introduce your child to using a potty first/don’t use a potty at all.
  • Use reward charts/don’t use a reward chart.

The truth of the matter is that when it comes to your child you are the expert. Nobody knows your child like you do and as much as gaining advice and following programmes is useful, nothing out there offers a silver bullet to success. The key to any sort of training or introduction of new rules/routines is CONSISTENCY.

What ever you decide is the right option for you and your child we will be on hand to follow your lead and support you every step of the way.
