The Bible teaches that our bodies are wonderfully made and are temples of God's Holy Spirit. As parents we have the immense task of navigating for ourselves and our children questions around body positivity, developing a positive relationship to food and nutritional wellness. Each week will focus on different aspects of nutritional wellness and offer practical tips for parents to implement at home. See the full description for each session here:
