Hello!
Thank you for stopping by. kidoing! (rhymes with boing) was originally created to help parents and teachers get children excited about eating nutritious foods to help maintain a healthy body.
If you’ve come to purchase the Immunity Poster, I’m sorry to say that I am no longer offering it for sale.
Over the course of the last year and a half, it’s been hard to find the time to write here, but I hope to pick up again soon. I will continue to write about my passions – feeding my family healthy, immune supporting nutritious foods and living a simplified and environmentally conscious life.
Our Story:
Over six years ago, I clipped a magazine article about strong bones. It had pictures of lots of vegetables and described how their nutritional composition supported strong bones. Many of the vegetables were ones I had a really hard time getting my daughter to eat such as kale, spinach, and red peppers. I posted the magazine clipping in my kitchen and showed my daughter hoping that a visual might help. She took an interest in it immediately because she wanted to have strong bones so she could run and jump higher than the other kids! Over the course of the next couple months, I started introducing the veggies I would give her as those that were on her “strong bones” chart. I would show her what they looked like and give her a brief description of why that food was going to help her get strong bones.
What happened over the next six months was amazing. She ate what I was serving her, AND she started asking for these veggies by name because they were on her strong bones chart. One day passed when I hadn’t given her any veggies on her chart. She got upset and said that she needs to eat the food to get strong bones! She even started asking for peas and peppers AT BREAKFAST!
At that point, I realized I might be on to something. Kids want to do what’s right for their bodies. They just need us, their parents and teachers, to teach them how their bodies work and what foods fuel them.
I created the Immunity Poster because it seems kids are sick a lot, but don’t have to be! Our family was sick on and off for years (literally) until we put a very strong emphasis on a nutritious whole foods diet with very little sugar (along with adding the nutritious food, you do need to drastically reduce or eliminate processed food).
My hope is that parents will work with their children, to help them understand how immunity works and what foods support a healthy immune system. After all, it’s NO FUN TO BE SICK!
Kids can do it with kidoing!—let’s work together to “get kids doing!”
Wishing you and your family the best health,
