Seasons 52, Tysons Corner

You’ll learn strategies and tips for feeding your family healthy, affordable, and fast meals, without having to transform into some kind of modern day June Clever. We’ll even talk about introducing your kids to new foods, managing the sports season chaos, navigating allergies, raising healthy teens, and much more.

It’s like therapy, but better and with dessert. We hope you can make it.

Have a great week!

Elizabeth MarcotteIt’s time for you to dine, whine, cojole, commiserate and learn some tips on surviving and thriving in motherhood!

 

Have you seen those TV shows and commercials of loving families gathered around the table, happily consuming veggies and roast beef? Well, we know where the term “fiction” comes from, it’s that very image of calm, peaceful children eating something without being covered in ketchup.

 

In this program we will discuss barriers to getting a healthy dinner on the table and strategies on how to break them down. Attendees will learn tips about introducing children to new foods, managing sports season chaos, navigating allergies, raising healthy teens and more.

 

Elizabeth will share statistics about the value and importance of eating dinner as a family and how to get it done. Dinner should be one of the most positive and supportive times of the day for every member of the family. Put down the pizza menu and get ready for a whole new way to turn dinner time from stressful into your new most favorite time of the day.

BONUS! There will be a Let’s Dish gift for all attendees!
