Join us for a special outdoor edition of Raising Resilient Eaters — a morning picnic at the beautiful Norman Bird Sanctuary focused on joyful, stress-free family mealtimes.
This session dives into the magic of cooking with your kids. Research (and plenty of real-life parenting experience) shows that involving children in food prep increases their willingness to try new foods and boosts mealtime confidence. We'll be introducing safe slicing with practice knives — and yes, your child will get to take their very own kid-safe knife home!
Together, we’ll roll up our sleeves and prepare Energy Balls, a no-bake, protein-packed snack perfect for on-the-go families. A recipe card will be provided to continue the fun at home.
We have notified the recipe to use Pumpkin Seed Butter instead of peanut butter.
Hosted by local mom and occupational therapist, Tara Kaine, this workshop offers practical tips, sensory-friendly strategies, and a big dose of encouragement — all in a relaxed, community-centered setting.
🌱 Open to parents of babies, toddlers, and young children
🥣 Light snacks + tea provided
🎁 Kids go home with their own practice knife and recipe card.
Come ready to create more peaceful, playful mealtimes.
