Introducing Child Nutrition

Growing children have higher energy and nutrient requirements for their body size compared to adults. However, they can also exert strong emotional responses to food and increasingly present with food aversions as well as allergies and intolerances.  As a nutrition expert, Jenny can advise parents and education professionals on how to plan healthy family meals, that encourage children to eat a varied diet, ensuring they obtain all the necessary nutrients for good health and growth.

Family nutritionist testimonials

“I love using Jenny’s recipes for my family because they are simple, nutritious and always extremely delicious.”

Amy Sheward

“Thanks for today – thought you might like to know, it has had instant impact..Oscar got straight onto the computer searching for recipes as soon we got home and now there’s a tray of healthy flapjacks in the oven – with plenty of dried fruit, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, walnuts and just a little bit of chocolate.”

John Hall

“Made your Pizza Chicken Nuggets for the family tonight - amazing! My 4 year old declared it to be ‘The best tea ever' and begged me to promise we could have it again. My 16 month old happily munched his way through them and the hubby enjoyed them too - winner all round, thank you!”
