Help! My Child Wants to Go Vegetarian

This group undertook a survey to understand parents’ attitudes towards vegetarianism by asking them questions such as whether they think their child could get sufficient nutrients if they adopted a vegetarian diet and what challenges they, as a parent, might face if their child went vegetarian. Following on from this, the group produced a leaflet to try to educate parents on the nutritional benefits to the diets and battled common concerns such as knowing what to cook and dealing with fussy siblings.
