Got kids?

Got kids?
A couple questions I've been asked are do I do vegan or plant-strong coaching with children and families or just individuals ? If yes, does everyone have to pay $30 an hour or can a family all be coached at once at $30 an hour ?
The answers to these questions are yes, I do do coaching with children and with families and yes, families can meet with me at once for the same price as individuals .
A Few Notes about children
As we know children's minds are like sponges . It is often easier for children to learn and change than it is for adults . Children have a less tainted / indoctrinated view of the world than do adults who have been watching tv, commercials , seeing billboards , and living in this society that reinforces certain things and discourages others far longer than have children .
Children are easily influenced by" the monkey see monkey do" philosophy when it comes to mimicking their parents and caregivers behaviors .
For these and other reasons I'm often still baffled when I read articles and hear people talk saying their kids are rigid in their eating habits.
I doubt it !
If parents decidedly are going to eat plant based , vegan and even plant strong for that matter their children will almost always go along . It may take a little time before their attitudes about it aren't challenging.
- They aren't used to it
- It takes a few weeks for taste buds to flip over so initially they may crave unhealthy foods and not enjoy eating a lot of plants , going without sugar etc.
But,
If you explain why you are doing it ( and , it certainly tends to speed up the process if this includes not killing or hurting the animals . Children generally know animals to be friends and don't want to hurt them in! And have less years of practice suppressing that instinct than adults ) ,
Get kids involved in cooking
Don't waver and give them back unhealthy food ( So, they can detoxify from it and the taste buds can flip )
And are a good strong example for them .
Make some things they already like and are familiar to them ( peanut butter banana sandwich , anyone? ) as well as bring in new things
That's often all that's needed .
Below are a couple wonderful resources
