The Joy of Growing Well: Well-being is built from childhood

A wellness education path for children and families, which develops in 3 stages, where food, body and emotions contribute to building health and longevity.

Wellbeing and healthy eating education program for children and families

The Joy of Growing Well is a wellness education program dedicated to children and families.
It comes from my experience as a dietitian-nutritionist, pharmacist and mother and from the desire to accompany the little ones towards a peaceful relationship with food, with their body and with emotions, from the first years of life.

The habits that are built in childhood communicate with our DNA and contribute to future health. For this reason, the path puts the family relationship at the centre, also involving adults in a shared, playful and aware experience.

Simple and happy moments lived together, which help you grow well and leave a positive impact over time.

The journey is accompanied by the book Bambini a tavola. Quasi un gioco! given to each family to continue this journey at home too.

The three moments of The Joy of Growing Well

  • 1. The Rhythm of Well-Being – Body and movement

    The journey starts from the body. Through music, dance and playful activities, children discover the first secrets of well-being in a natural and fun way: listening to their body, moving with pleasure and recognizing sensations related to energy and food.
    An important first step to understand that well-being also arises from movement and the joy of expressing oneself.

  • 2. Junior Chef Cooking Class – Cooking together

    The second moment is dedicated to cooking and sharing. Children and adults cook together, experimenting with genuine ingredients, flavors and textures, through a simple and playful approach.

    The cooking class becomes an educational and relational experience that helps children develop curiosity and trust towards food, and adults to experience mealtime as a peaceful space for relating and listening.

    The experience ends with a “tasting report card”, a fun tool that stimulates observation, the language of sensations and self-expression, without judgment.

  • 3. The Joyful Table – Playing with the menu

    The journey ends around the table, transformed into a creative and cheerful space. Children and adults play, choose and create together, giving shape to a healthy, sustainable and tasty weekly menu.

    Through colors, funny names and small rituals, even vegetables lose their “serious air” and become part of the game.
    Children feel like protagonists, adults participate lightly, leaving room for imagination and smiles.

    Testimonials

    The passion for my work is nourished by your words.

    Thank you Dr. Acquaviva, without effort, while having fun, my son has learned to have a healthy diet. Now vegetables, legumes…. are very welcomed into his diet!

    I came from Lecce to meet Dr. Acquaviva. I already knew she was the right person for me: after years of dieting, I felt I was listened to and I was treated very humanely, she understood my problem. I lost all the excess weight and today I am happy with my body. Thanks to her working method, I had not only to follow “the diet,” but I learned how to manage my nutrition and that of my family in a balanced way. Thank you, Dr. Annamaria, for the journey we have been through together and for all that you have taught me.

    After so many attempts, I never thought I would achieve my goal. I thank you, doctor Acquaviva, not only for the right diet, but also for encouraging me, provoking me and accompanying me to continue the journey from being obese to being of normal weight. I thank you for your sensibility, supportiveness and above all, for making me self aware.

    Thanks to Dr. Acquaviva’s great professionalism, I was able to not only lose 20 kg and reach my ideal weight, but also to override the nervous and
    compulsive hunger I had been carrying for years. I have found pleasure in food again, and now I fully identify with and appreciate my body.
