Hi Everyone! Welcome to The Nourished Child on YouTube! I'm Jill Castle, a pediatric dietitian and nutritionist and mom of four kids. In this video, I give you my background and how my work in pediatric nutrition has developed over the years.On this channel, you'll find information about nutrition for kids of all ages, including babies, toddlers, kids and teens. I focus on food, feeding and child development, because I believe integrating all three is the key to raising a healthy eater and a healthy child.My approach to child nutrition nourishes the physical, emotional, cognitive and social health of the child. This is what I call "Nourishing a child, inside and out."If you're a parent, you'll appreciate the connection of each stage of child development because what happens in infancy affects toddlerhood, and so on.You'll enjoy a reprieve from focusing on "healthy food" all the time, as I ask you to focus on your interactions, your words and your intentions when feeding your child.I also want you to understand your child better, as an eater, as a learner, and as an individual growing his or her relationship with food.So, if you've been sold on "eat right," I'm going to help you make a big shift in your perspective on raising healthy kids! Because it takes more than good food to nourish and nurture a healthy child.Welcome to the channel! I hope you learn something here that will empower you to be the best parent around food and feeding your child.I've got some goodies below for you:// Grab my FREE Guide: How to Nourish a Healthy Child: https://bit.ly/2JD0Mno// Watch this Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFpHZQq0qDQ&t=57s// What to Watch Next: How to Prevent Picky Eating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajy0P0GXyeA// Links:Learn more about The Nourished Child: https://thenourishedchild.com/about-us/Learn more about Jill Castle: https://jillcastle.com/about-jill/Listen to The Nourished Child podcast: https://jillcastle.com/podcast/// Follow Jill on Social:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenourishedchildInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.nourished.child/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pediRD/Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pediRD/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillcastle/Note: This description may contain affiliate links to products I recommend as a pediatric dietitian and nutritionist.
