Have you ever felt unsure about the amount of food your infant, toddler, or child eats at a particular meal?

Many vegan parents just like yourself often feel worried that your vegan baby, toddler, and/or child didn’t eat “enough”. This in turn makes you feel concerned whether or not they’re meeting their nutrient needs on a vegan diet. And so, naturally as a parent, you react based on that underlying fear of not meeting your child’s nutritional needs on a vegan diet. And this fear then leads to you intervening in some way or form. 

Say goodbye to that worry because today you’ll learn the top strategies I follow myself and teach to my clients to feel confident as a vegan parent. 

On today’s episode, I’m sharing with you my top 3 strategies to feel more at ease with the amount of food your vegan kids eat any particular meal. 

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How a child’s stomach size impacts their appetite
  • How observing your child helps you learn their usual intake
  • Why trusting your child’s appetite helps you feel more confident with what they eat
  • Intervening in any way can impact your vegan child’s relationship with food, and thus overall intake
  • How role modeling plays a role in the amount your child chooses to eat
