Nourish: How Food and Relationship Go Together
with Deborah MacNamara

Online workshop via Zoom
Date: Wednesday, March 8, 2023  Time: 6:30 to 8:30 pm (please note time change)
Facilitator: Deborah MacNamara
Suitable for parents, child care providers and community professionals
 
The connection between food and relationship has become separated from one another despite how they were meant to be intertwined. This presentation will weave together the pieces of the feeding and eating puzzle by drawing on the fields of attachment science, neuroscience, developmental psychology, and cultural tradition. Come relish and savour in a thought-provoking walk around our most basic human needs and nature’s answer to feeding our kids.
 
Deborah is a dynamic teacher and experienced counsellor who makes developmental science come to life in the everyday context of home and classroom. She also provides counselling services to parents and professionals to make sense of learning, behavioural, and developmental issues in kids – from babies to teens.
