Episode 50: Feeding Your Gymnast and Family

How do you feed your gymnast and your family at the same time…without feeling like a short-order cook, a referee, or like you’re going to lose your mind??

Every family is different. Every kid is different. But most parents struggle with some of the same issues when it comes to feeding their gymnasts and other family members. 

I think we all know how important family dinners are, but what happens when the reality of life and schedules make that tricky on the best day? Or maybe you have kids at different developmental stages, so you’re not sure how to ensure everyone gets what they need. Perhaps you have a super picky kid who makes preparing meals feel like jumping through hoops.

Parents are just trying to do their best to feed their gymnast and family.  I’d love to support you in this endeavor so listen in today to get some insight on how to navigate these road bumps.  

In this episode you’ll hear about: 

• The number one mistake most parents make when planning and cooking meals
• How to navigate adequately fueling your gymnast when that may differ from the rest of your children’s current nutritional needs. 
• Common challenges parents face in feeding their gymnasts and families
