Session 1: Healthy Eating: The Toddler and Preschool Years Andrea Vazzana, PhD, NYU Langone Medical Center As a parent do you wonder which nutrients your child needs and if they’re actually getting them? Are you unsure how to introduce new foods or how to handle your picky eater? Ensuring essential nutrition for growth and development and helping your kids to develop good food habits is a process that begins at birth. Fortunately, there are lots of resources to guide you along the way– at home and on the go. While achieving perfect nutrition isn’t realistic, it is possible to develop good nutritious food habits for your child. |

Session 2: Food Allergies and Kids Paul Ehrlich, MD, NYU Langone Medical Center According to the Food and Drug Administration, about 6% of children in the U.S. under the age of 3 have some form of food allergy, the most common allergens being milk, eggs, peanuts, soy, wheat, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. Whether your child has an allergy or not, parents must learn the basics of food allergies, what to avoid, how to recognize an allergic reaction, and how to react—particularly if you’re preparing food for school events, birthday parties, and other social occasions. Allergies are real, but with the right information, cooking and eating can still be fun, tasty and safe. |

Session 3: What You Need to Know About Gluten Nicole Brender, RD, CDN, NYU Langone Medical Center Gluten is gaining attention as allergies rise, claims increase about a potential link to autism and attention disorders, and more people believe that gluten just isn’t good for you. The good news is that gluten-free foods are on the rise in supermarkets and restaurants, and it’s getting easier to manage GF diets at home, school, or when dining out. But to be a true gluten detective, you have to read labels and know the hiding places where gluten lurks. Nicole Brender will guide you through the maze of facts and fallacies about gluten. Learn the differences between celiac disease, wheat allergy, and gluten intolerance and how they are they diagnosed in adults and children. |
