I’m so thrilled to be facilitating a program at the Ontario Early Years Centre in Newmarket for new parents. Managing Expectations is a free six-week program to help new parents cope with the challenges of having a baby, and is offered by Life with a Baby, a project of Healthy Start, Healthy Future, a non-profit organization.
Last Tuesday, our special guest speaker was Meredith Deasley, B.A., R.H.N., R.N.C.P. Meredith is a specialist in pediatric nutrition and teaches at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. Her book will be published early next year and she has written articles for several health magazines.
She’s also known as the Resourceful Mother and works with Sprouts for Kids, a mobile play program company.
Some of the topics discussed were introducing baby to solid foods, recognizing food sensitivities and allergies, integrating healthy food choices, natural remedies that can help certain childhood ailments, and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Alyson Schafer, author, parenting expert and co-host of The Parenting Show, will also be a guest speaker. She’ll talk about Expectations versus reality of motherhood and the SuperMom complex.
