Your toddler wants sushi. Your 5-year-old is asking for coffee. And every meal feels like a negotiation. Sound familiar?
In this episode of Parenting Playbook, we sit down with Accredited Practising Dietitian and Nutritionist, Annabelle Johnson, to break down common food myths, decode “good vs bad” food, and get real about what balanced and nutritious eating actually looks like for kids. We’ll talk about picky eaters, how to handle rejection, and find out how our relationship with food influences our children. Plus, tips for raising confident eaters without turning every meal into a battlefield.
With her strong interest in paediatric nutrition, Accredited Practising Dietitian and Nutritionist Annabelle Johnson, draws from both her clinical experience and mum-tested wisdom to support parents in nourishing their little ones.
