Terrific Toddlers! (1 to 4 years old)

Feeding toddlers can be challenging. They are often picky eaters, they seem stuck on one food at a time, and they often don't seem to eat very much! Many parents worry that their toddler isn't getting all the nutrients they need to support their active bodies. Some foods are better than others, but which ones?

You can't force your child to eat, but you can make life a little easier by buying the right food, preparing it nutritiously and serving it creatively. Terrific Toddlers! will take the guesswork out of feeding your child.

Join us and learn:
  • Which foods pack the biggest nutritional punch for your toddler
  • How to help build and support your child's immune system
  • Which foods are nutrient robbers and provide empty calories
  • How to work with your child's growing independence (e.g. picky eaters)
  • Ways to make great tasting, healthy & interesting meals for your child
  • How to feed your child in order to prevent and treat various ailments (e.g. gas, tummy ache, constipation, diarrhea, headaches, vomiting, ear infections, colds, poor sleeping, and more).
Location: Meredith's home in Aurora
Cost: $55 per family

How you feed your toddler is the most important indicator of their health and happiness. Please call Meredith Deasley at (905) 713-3299 to register.

    Indigo and Crystal Children in an Unnatural World

    The Indigo children are here to usher in the New Age of Peace.... Lee Carroll and Jan Tober

    The Crystal children follow the cleared path into a safer and more secure world.... Doreen Virtue

    It's our spiritual duty to help this new generation of Indigo and Crystal children receive the highest life-force energy possible so that they can fulfil their divine purpose.

    Join us and learn how to create an effective diet, based on the needs of the sensitive bodies of this new generation, using:
    • Whole, fresh, quality foods
    • A more vegetarian approach to eating; we'll describe how to make a complete protein with each meal
    • Foods that are easily digested; we'll even show you how to maximize digestion of foods that are harder to digest
    Indigo children sometimes exhibit ADD or ADHD behaviours such as disorganization, hyperactivity or impulsivity. Crystal children can be diagnosed with Autism when they take longer to start speaking, have speech impediments or are seen as living in their own worlds. "The Resourceful Mother" will share with you, the foods that cause or worsen symptoms of ADD/ADHD and Autism.

    Indigo and Crystal children were sent to this earth for the express purpose of cleaning up our planet, both environmentally and socially. They are "natural children in an unnatural world".
