S2 E5 The Nutrition and the Very Young Child

Today my guest is Nita Sharda. Nita is a Registered Dietitian, proud South Asian woman, #boymom and cofounder of Happy Healthy Eaters  and sole proprietor for Carrots and Cake Balanced Nutrition Consultin g. Her interest in food was sparked when she was a little girl. She would often spend time in the kitchen admiring her mother’s touch with Indian cuisine. It was the time she spent working at her family’s convenience store that eventually led her to pursuing a career in Dietetics.     After years of counseling clients in a variety of areas, it was only when she had her first son that she really started to develop a keen interest in childhood nutrition and recognized the need for innovative and millennial friendly content. With her partner, Jessica, the aim of Happy Healthy Eaters  is to ensure parents feel confident feeding their children and to experience joy in the feeding relationship.    You can learn more about Nita by visiting @nita_sharda  or @happyhealthyeaters  over on Instagram.      To find out more about  all things Joyful Beginnings go to: https://www.joyful-beginnings.org And to follow them on Instagram click here  https://www.instagram.com/joyful_beginnings/   The website is in the works as you read this, so stay in close touch as we create this bountiful online resource, just for you!!     I have so much gratitude for everyone who has been listening to the Joyfull Parenting Podcast and joining the community of supporters at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=40232525 !   If you haven’t already,  please subscribe to the podcast.
