H3 Pre School organized an insightful and highly engaging Parenting Seminar on Child Nutrition and Healthy Eating Practices on 14th December 2025, aimed at empowering parents with practical, evidence-based strategies to support their children’s physical health and emotional relationship with food. The seminar witnessed active participation from parents across multiple H3 Pre School branches in Ahmedabad, reflecting the growing awareness around mindful parenting and early nutrition.
The session was led by Hons.(Dr) Saurabh Kaushik, Founder and Lifestyle Coach at Aura The Diet Clinic (CCN, DE, SN, PC, PNE, YI, FMW, HIC), a well-known nutrition expert, widely regarded as one of the best dietitians in Ahmedabad. With 7+ years of experience working closely with families, children, and individuals across different age groups, Hons. (Dr) Saurabh Kaushik addressed one of the most common challenges faced by modern parents picky eating, mealtime struggles, and resistance to new foods.
During the seminar, Hons. (Dr) Saurabh Kaushik emphasized that children do not reject food itself, but often react against pressure and control. He explained that healthy eating should be viewed as a gradual learning process rather than a performance-based outcome. Parents were encouraged to shift their mindset from control to curiosity, allowing children to explore food at their own pace.
A key focus of the session was on introducing new foods without pressure, highlighting that repeated, neutral exposure sometimes up to 10–15 times is often required before a child accepts unfamiliar foods. Hons. (Dr) Saurabh Kaushik advised parents to avoid forcing, bribing, or praising children for finishing meals, as these tactics can increase anxiety and resistance rather than cooperation.
Another important aspect discussed was child involvement before serving meals. Parents were guided on allowing children to pick fruits and vegetables of their choice, assist with simple kitchen tasks such as washing or stirring, and participate in plating food. According to Hons. (Dr) Saurabh Kaushik, this sense of ownership builds curiosity, familiarity, and willingness to taste.
The seminar also underscored the importance of parental role modeling. Hons. (Dr) Saurabh Kaushik shared that children naturally imitate adult behavior, especially during mealtimes. Eating the same food with genuine enjoyment without lectures about health creates a positive and trusting food environment.
To further reduce mealtime conflicts, parents were advised to establish predictable meal and snack timings, keep meals screen-free, and avoid preparing separate menus for children. Simple lifestyle practices such as early dinners, short active play before meals, and calm mealtime rituals were highlighted as effective ways to improve digestion, appetite, and emotional regulation.
The session was interactive, with parents actively asking questions and sharing real-life challenges related to their children’s eating habits, screen dependency, and daily routines. Hons. (Dr) Saurabh Kaushik addressed these concerns with practical solutions that could be easily implemented at home.
As a mark of appreciation for his impactful guidance and valuable contribution, Hons. (Dr) Saurabh Kaushik was felicitated by H3 Pre School at the end of the seminar. The event saw participation from parents representing H3 Pre School branches including Bodakdev, Paldi (Narayannagar), Prahlad Nagar, Shubhash Bridge, Maninagar, Shyamal, Gota, Bhadaj, Naranpura, and Applewood (Shela).
The seminar reaffirmed H3 Pre School’s commitment to holistic child development by supporting parents with credible knowledge on nutrition, lifestyle, and emotional well-being.
