Parenting talks


The START campaign is all about helping families make healthy changes in their lives, and about listening to parents' questions and concerns. In these talks we bring parents together with experts in child psychology and nutrition to have a conversation about the challenges parents face and to answer their questions.

Dr Colman Noctor joined safefood's Dr Aileen McGloin at Tallaght Library to talk about how small daily changes can start families on the way to a healthier life. Parents were invited to ask our experts' advice on setting small, realistic goals and overcoming pushback from the rest of the family. Transcript
