My Child Wants to Be Vegetarian. Now What?

As vegan and vegetarian dietary and lifestyle trends continue to rise, many children and teens are showing interest and actively pursuing these life path choices. For many non-veg parents and guardians however, this can be a challenge and frustration. What will I feed my child? How will they get their protein? Will they get enough nutrients? How will they fit in with others? These and many other common questions plague parents and families where the veg lifestyle is not common, but one in which one or more of the children wish to pursue a vegetarian path.

This class is specifically designed for any parent, guardian, teacher or child caretaker who is seeking answers, support or information on how to approach and help any children in their care make the best choices and meet their health needs. In this class optimal health and plant-based nutrition expert Evita Ochel will address all of the different areas associated with the growing trend of veganism/vegetarianism when it comes to understanding and respecting the child's choices, and how to ensure they get the proper support and nutrition at any time of their journey.

Class participants, please send any specific questions, concerns or challenges that you have with respect to children's veg choices, to Evita via a LearnItLive message by October 18. (If you register after that date, you can bring up your query during the live class, if it isn't already covered then.)
