Picky Eaters

Picky Eater?

All parents know that there are plenty of strategies that will help your child sleep through the night such as age an appropriate nap schedule, a consistent bedtime routine and a regular bedtime. These are fairly straightforward.

One area that is not so often thought of as having an impact on sleep is your child’s diet. A healthy diet can wreak havoc on your child’s sleep, although many parents overlook the obvious connection. The foods your child eats, not just for dinner and before bed but all day long, can impact how easily your child is able to fall asleep.

One way to encourage your child to eat healthy and to try new foods is to make meals colorful and fun!

This may feel overwhelming, but a new laminated board book that is easy to read and follow, Foodie Faces Fun Nutritious Meals for Children by Cheryl Gamson, (available as an iBook on Apple Books and at https://foodiefaces.com) can help you give your child the healthy diet they need by making mealtime nutritious, enjoyable, and simple to prepare!

This book gives you 15 easy to follow, step by step recipes with colorful pictures that make meals fun to prepare alone or with your child. If you are struggling with a picky eater or trying to get more healthy food in your child’s diet this book is the answer!

A healthy diet not only sets the stage for a lifetime of good eating habits but also for a nighttime of refreshing sleep for you and your child.
