Beth Jacob Congregation: Raising Fearless Food Explorers

Join us this Sunday, November 1, from 3:30–5:00 p.m. for a special parent workshop, “Raising Fearless Food Explorers,” with Morah Linda Lantos!

We all want our children to develop a healthy relationship with food, but navigating picky eating, lunchboxes, and mealtime struggles isn’t always easy. This workshop will offer practical strategies, fresh ideas, and a little inspiration to make food exploration more enjoyable for the whole family.

Topics we’ll explore:

What does a healthy relationship with food look like in early childhood?

Navigating picky eating, food aversions, and mealtime power struggles

The lunchbox conundrum: packing nourishing lunches your child will actually enjoy

Five-minute kitchen magic: simple ways to cook together without a big, messy production

Bring the kids! Childcare will be provided during the parent discussion, followed by a hands-on food exploration experience for parents and children to enjoy together.
