Raising Awareness: Embracing the Beauty of Down Syndrome with Renee Kersten

Redwood Wellbeing

Hello and Welcome to the Redwood Wellbeing Podcast, where each week I am dedicated to supporting parents on the journey of nurturing their child's healthy relationship with food and their body image.

Through practical, everyday strategies and tips, I help you to become empowered to make a lasting difference in your child's wellbeing journey.

In this mini episode I'm joined by mother of three, Renee Kersten, who shares with us about;

• Her motherhood journey with her son Julian who has Down Syndrome.
• His food relationship progression over the years and what is helping him eat a nutritious and balanced diet.
• Her desire to raise awareness about Down Syndrome.
• How parents can help their child be accepting of people with a disability.
• World Down Syndrome Day on March 21.
