The Nutrition Prescription for Healthier Kids | Jill Castle | TEDxDanbury

[@alexandrasampaio6255]

I´ve been following this lady since 2016 and she is amazing. She doesn´t force unshakeable "laws" about nutrition and feeding children . and adolescents. She is open- minded, sharp and aware. I love her work. She gives flexible and practical ways of dealing with this issue. She also has an incredible podcast "The Nourished Child Podcast". Look it up.

"How a child is fed is just as important as what a child eats". - Jill Castle paediatric dietician and speaker shares openly and vulnerably of her turning point as a mom and dietician, and gives three key tips to nourishing your child. Thanks for helping us mom's not feel alone. And I sure wish I had this information when my kids were babies.

[@kimberlykbuchholz8877]

This is the best use of 17 minutes that I can find, listening to Jill Castle talk about feeding kids! It's so true that we work very hard to teach our children to read and yet may not know how to feed our kids' developing bodies and minds. I am a Registered Dietitian too, and I have had problems with feeding children as well. We all do. Thank you for sharing this, Jill...

[@kidsdigfood]

Thanks Jill for your insight and clarity. As an Aussie family Dietitian, you just described succinctly the client I see in my own Clinic and the families I engage with in workshops and training. The issues are the same in all developed countries of the world. And I too believe the power is in guiding parents to feed well. Not only rhe what, but the how. Thank you! I will be sharing this link.

[@NeilyonNutrition]

A message needed not just by parents but everyone. Children are our future. Jill Castle gets it! She also has a wonderful podcast The Nourished Child - highly recommend.

[@liyanlin1787]

What a great job, Jill! I mean not only you've done a great job on this presentation, but also a meaningful job you've been doing for years to improve life quality of many many families. I really appreciate it.

[@Nutritioulicious]

Amazing Jill. More proof that you are THE childhood nutrition expert. As my girls continue to grow I will continue to look to you and your work for guidance as to how best raise healthy children! Thank you.

[@theresadiulus9891]

Jill's methods to convey nutrition information are to educate and inform parents, not scare and confuse. Great talk!

[@StefanieFrank]

To say this talk is an eye opener is a vast understatement. Jill's approach to childhood nutrition not only captured my interest, I found it inspiring. And I don't even have kids. I will be sharing this video with every parent I know.

[@eileenstellefsonmyers585]

This is such an important message if we are going to improve the health of our children. All parents and parents-to-be should watch this. Great job Jill!

[@RealMomNutrition]

Such good advice that will hopefully alleviate a lot of parents' anxiety about feeding their kids. Jill is a pro!

[@caroldriver63]

I agree that parents need much more education in this arena. And children need educated as well so they learn WHY they need to learn good habits. But the speaker HAD the education and still had a child who wasn’t thriving. I wish she had circled back to why that occurred and what she had done to resolve it. With her proposed solution, she still would have had an underweight, anemic child. 🤷‍♀️

[@JillCastle]

When my girls was little, I was getting trapped in the "food is the answer" mentality -- shirking my knowledge of feeding. I needed more info on expected development -- and while I figured it out and self-corrected, my ah-ha moment was that many parents don't have this background of education or support system. :)

[@PeaceHealthPurpose]

Such great stuff, Jill! I’m a fellow Registered Dietitian and in the thick of feeding my littles, so great to hear this. Thank you!

[@maxfofax5471]

So, I made a reply to another comment related to the content in this talk, and I see a few other comments going into the relatively little info in this TED talk. But I wanted to follow up with something useful: if you're like me and want help being better at feeding your kids, please check out Jill's KZbin channel instead. This talk undersells her credentials and passion for the subject, and her channel goes into useful detail around child nutrition.

[@maryannjacobsen9955]

Every parent should watch this talk. Nicely done!

[@SylviaWhiteRD]

Wonderful message by a top childhood nutrition expert. Sharing with friends with kids.

[@AlexiaVernon]

Jill is a much needed renegade for parents, like me!, who want to "get it all right" with respect to nutrition, and, as a result, are actually trying so hard we are getting way too much wrong. Jill is right - we really do need a new approach to prepare parents to get food right for and with our kids. Love this talk!

[@lauravalcour4420]

I've been following Jill for years! She's a wealth of knowledge and practical approach that works!

[@tabithaodom8191]

I really enjoyed this talk and topic. I have a toddler and newborn and all of these things apply to me right now. As a dietitian I also felt similar about breastfeeding. I really struggled in some areas where I felt I should be an expert. Also as much as I love my pediatrician and OB - we never talked about nutrition for me or my baby. No one encouraged me to breastfeed or told me the benefits of it. Of course it wasn't a big deal TO ME since I am a trained professional but at the same time I thought about how no one else must be getting any guidance and such a critical stage of their life. Also even if you have been through it before with other kids or having an education where you covered this topic it's something that if you're not doing every day you tend to forget so it's important to refresh those topics with each pregnancy. Thanks Jill!

[@AvantiKumarSingh]

Jill Castle understands not just the science of nutrition, but more importantly the art of nourishing children. This is a reminder to every parent to stop worrying about getting everything "right" and to instead start trusting their instincts. Great TEDx talk by a great speaker and expert in the field of childhood nutrition!

[@meghannfeatherstun6772]

This is an imperative message to be sharing, Jill. Thank you for being such an incredible voice for nutrition and health in our nation's future... our kiddos :)

[@laurenmanganiello4709]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom & experience with us Jill! "How is just as important as what" - great message! It's wonderful to have such impactful women in our field.

[@ukkidsnutritionbybaheevand4241]

Brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed this video. Becoming a mum to two girls with very different eating styles and preferences certainly added an insight into my own work as a paediatric dietitian.

[@MichelleJaelin]

What an important topic, Jill is definitely a nutrition expert!

[@lizweissmsrdn9276]

Jill knows first hand about the challenges parents face feeding kids, because she's a mom herself. Her advice is practical, realistic, and science-based. Yes, it's important to feed kids lots of fruits and vegetables, and yes, good nutrition is incredibly important. But the "how-tos" of feeding plays a vitally important role too. This TEDx talk is top notch, and I hope every parents tunes in!

[@MaryPurdy]

We need champions to help our food culture set kids up for success!

[@christabiegler--eattofeely1451]

Jill is riveting to listen to! Saw her in person and on YT and love her lectures!

[@nwpediatricfamilynutrition9801]

Excellent advice! Such an important topic

[@allegragast3295]

Ah this message is so much needed! Thank you for all your insight and everything you do!

[@LemondNutritionPlano]

Jill is an amazing pediatric and adolescent nutrition expert. Great information from Jill Castle, as always!

[@firststepnut]

An important message for all parents to hear! “How” Parents feed their kids is just as important as the “what” foods they offer. And Jill is right- why is there no formalized training about this for parents?!

[@pcos.nutritionist]

Jill- thanks for sharing your input as a child nutrition expert!

[@ljk5708]

Do you have any examples of what you can actually do when the toddlers refuse to eat? I understand why you shouldn’t force them but where do you go from there?

[@arfid.dietitian]

Such a great message! Nutrition education for parents is so important !

[@kzeender]

Great topic! Thank you Jill for sharing!

[@MeganBoitano]

Thanks for sharing your wisdom on this topic in such an impactful way!

[@healthiswealth6144]

Understand child development and temperament

[@JACANDBAC]

Such great information! Thank you Jill 😊

[@amberreynolds2389]

Such a wonderful and powerful message!

[@Abinder012]

Excellent talk!

[@genessisavila4169]

Nice Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Dinanlinson Natural Beauty Approach (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good exclusive product for learning what to eat to look younger minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate after many years got great success with it.

[@MrsAnaelimont]

Excellent! Such an eye opener!

[@mariakjosen3730]

Excellent talk! Thanks!

[@PULAG]

Audio quality is non-existent.

[@christinaclark2134]

I was really hoping for some great ideas about what to do, but this was mostly about things that we cannot do or else we'll screw up our children. She wants more education for parents which sounds great, but I was hoping she could share education or at least give us somewhere to go for more.

[@healthiswealth6144]

Food education, feeding education

[@arlosgamingadventures8400]

So important!!!!

[@ingredientsforhealth]

Thank you! Wow

[@jannabiswellness]

A must watch for every mom. :)

[@Monkey_G5]

So how do I feed my children?

[@Muninn801]

So what did she do to solve her kids health problems?

[@remingtonsteele3220]

Wow. I don't think I've ever spent this much time listening to a video where a person actually gave so little actual information! If you are looking for nutrition information from this video, don't waste your time!

[@jdbabyburger6220]

So what happened with her anemic daughter? Did she eventually grow out of her picky eating or is she still anemic? I need a part 2 lol.

[@JillCastle]

She is perfectly fine! I got my stuff together...:)

[@barbarabaronfamilymealsdie5193]

Jill makes us think! If only ...pediatricians referred their new parents to a pediatric registered dietitian nutritionist -- how much can be learned to nourish their child while lowering stress and anxiety over feeding!

[@kingwhodat]

all these comments are fake. For sure.

[@maxfofax5471]

Yeah, I can't tell why this is a TED talk

[@Cuteisme-u4x]

Huh? Did you comment on the wrong video?

[@Cuteisme-u4x]

@@maxfofax5471 this is my kind of TED talk, what type of TED talks do you prefer?

[@maxfofax5471]

@@Cuteisme-u4x - the takehome message of the talk is that there are three broad areas that parents need to be educated in to ensure they can get their kids to eat healthily. Doesn't give you any of that knowledge...just...highlights that you need to know more. People usually go to TED talks to gain information, this one's more like an advertisement. Also, most of the comments from around the time that this was released are clearly generic praise. There was no advice given in this video, just highlighting that experts (and I'm not criticizing her credentials, just the content of this talk) can also run into troubles. So, this talk definitely leaves a lot out, like any resolution.

[@usernamearman]

I agree that the message of the talk is very important, but this talk basically has no contents, just keeps repeating the same obvious idea.

[@marocc280]

Helpfull thx omg lol
