#95: NUTRITION/PARENTING - How Much Protein Your Young Child Needs

By Martin MacDonald

Many of you have been asking me about nutrition for children recently and specifically about their protein needs. So this week I have recorded an episode not only on how much protein your child needs but why your anxieties on the topic are likely unwarranted! 

I also cover some really important advice on how to approach your child's nutrition without causing them harm.

Lots to take away from a parenting perspective in this one…..Enjoy!
