Daina Kalnins, MSc, is an academic/clinical specialist and registered dietitian at the Hospital for Sick Children. She has 20 years experience in pediatric nutrition research, is the mother of two young children and lives in Toronto, Ontario.
She considers her children to have a healthy and balanced diet- they are more than willing to try new foods, and have understood the meaning of balance from a very early age. They thoroughly enjoy a large variety of fruits and vegetables every day. As a full time working mother, Daina can totally appreciate the time constraints of raising young children, and how this can impact eating practices. However, she absolutely believes that with planning, education and willingness, healthy eating is possible for everyone!
Daina is the co-author of the book Better Food for Kids: Your Essential Guide to Nutrition for All Children from Age 2 to 10.
