Fussy Eating Evening

18 December 2020

The team at Lollipops Patten Street want to say a big thank you to both our presenters and families who attended our Community Services and Fussy Eating Evening recently. 

It is always a bit of a stretch at such a busy time of year but thank you all for making the extra effort.

It was great to have an overview of the services the community can access from the loft with really informative and helpful ideas on how we can utilise this. 

Additionally, we were lucky enough to have Helen come on and blow us away with her uncomplicated, relatable and practical advice on supporting children through fussy eating, as well as dealing with all those hard to manage behaviours which seem to suddenly manifest between the ages of 2 to 5!

Now we know why and what we can do as the adult and caregiver to respond.

The team at Lollipops have invited Helen back to re-visit her talk around children and how to support developing healthy positive attitudes and relationships toward food in term one of 2021.

If you wanted to come but missed out due to the busy season, Helen is more than happy to come back in the new term, so be sure to follow us on Facebook to get our latest updates on confirmed dates and other events.
