The government have very quietly suspended the Schools Fruit & Veg Scheme this week. For some children that may be the only piece of fresh fruit and veg they eat all day bar school meals. Would like more reasoning behind this @DHSCgovuk @Helen_Whately #SFVS

Alongside the latest research and some of the more theoretical aspects of feeding challenges, I also like to share practical strategies with you sometimes. This is one of my favourites. https://t.co/Ixxq9sU69N

Usually, children’s eating anxiety is my main focus, but today, the spotlight is on you: I wanted to share a few thoughts about parents’ anxiety. You may be so fixed on your child’s worries about
