AGING BETTER: Back to school nutrition: Everything parents need to know

Helping kids eat well isn’t about fixating on one food group at a time. It’s about balance — across meals, and even across the week, according to a pediatric dietitian at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. In this week’s episode of Aging Better, we’re focusing on back-to-school nutrition.

Katherine Shary, RD, LD, helps develop pediatric nutrition guidance and trains healthcare providers who work with children. She also teaches families what a balanced plate looks like and how to build healthier snack routines.
