Today Kate is introducing you to a mom who struggled with meal time so hard that she turned feeding her kids into an experiment… and it worked!  Meet Jennifer Anderson! A mom, wife, registered dietitian, and the founder of Kids Eat in Color. When she was a new mom, she learned (as we all do) that feeding kids is tricky.

She built Kids Eat In Color to be the resource she wished she had when searching for ways to feed her kids.  WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT: Ways to keep it positive when talking about food Talking about nutrition in a way that kids understand Feeling overwhelmed?
