Common Questions

QWhat age is the Healthy Eating Challenge best for?

QMy kid refuses to try new foods. How can we make the challenge less stressful?

QHow often should we do this, and how long does each session take?

QWhat if I don't have access to a garden or farmer's market?

QWill this really change our family's eating habits long-term?

Troubleshooting

My 4-year-old refuses new foods and wants to stick with the same meals every day.

We're struggling to find time for cooking projects with work and school schedules.

My child gets bored during food prep and wanders off mid-activity.

I'm worried I'm not doing this 'right' or providing enough nutritional education.
