COMMUNITY CHAT: "The Art of Feeding:  Nurturing the Whole Child, from the Highchair through High School" (6 p.m. at Davis-Kidd Booksellers in the Green Hills Mall in Nashville. Free and open to the public)
Did you know that the process of feeding your child is just as important as your child’s food? Feeding is the first relationship formed between parent and child, and it doesn’t end with infancy. Successful feeding techniques continue through adolescence, helping to establish trust and connectedness as the child grows. In this informative workshop, pediatric nutrition specialist Jill Castle, MS, RD, LDN, will share the attitudes and actions that are critical to maintaining a positive feeding relationship with your child, so he or she may develop lifelong, healthy relationships with food and eating. Participants will leave with practical techniques to implement in their own homes. Learn how you can support this event HERE or download a poster HERE. This event is made possible by presenting sponsor Center for Change. 

Jill Castle, MS, RD, LDN, a licensed and registered dietitian, has 20 years’ experience in pediatric nutrition. She owns Pediatric Nutrition of Green Hills (PNGH) in Nashville, TN.  For more information about Jill and PNGH, visit www.pediatricnutritionofgreenhills.com or www.jillcastle.com.
