It’s the 200th episode of the Healthy Parenting Connector! I can’t believe I’ve been recording these interviews for over 5 years now, I would have guessed it’s been 3!
Time flies when you’re having fun and for me, that’s what the Healthy Parenting Connector is. One of my favorite parts of my job is doing these interviews and getting to talk to so many smart people!
Today I’m sharing some clips from my favorite Healthy Parenting Connector episodes to celebrate! It was really hard to narrow these down, but for the most part, I chose these clips because these interviews have stuck with me and I’m still using tips that I learned from these experts!
Enjoy these tips for health, picky eating, parenting, and kids from some of our best guests in episodes 1-100! (I’ll be sharing clips from episodes 101-199 in a few weeks!)
