Helping children develop healthy eating & behavioral habits
A word from Aleksandra Starling, the founder of Inspired Universe
According to studies* children develop behavioral habits early in their childhood, making this time a critical period where we can positively influence their food preferences and promote healthy eating habits such as food knowledge and nutrition, farm-to-table concepts, and healthy portions just to name a few.
Encouraging children to eat healthy foods is challenging and most of the time it comes with its fair share of frustration for everyone involved. Maybe you’re at the beginning of this journey, trying to eliminate unhealthy snacks or make any vegetable sound more appealing. Maybe you are a little further along where your child eats some vegetables and you’re pretty happy, but they just won’t ever try that one thing that you know would be so good for them (#broccoli, #avocado, #tomato, #ohNoNo&No). Maybe you have new additions to your family who are still on the fence about eating veggies and would prefer french fries as their idea of having vegetables for dinner. Perhaps you’ve already brought your children a long way where they eat many nutritious foods, but you’re always on the lookout to find new healthy snacks or quick nutritious recipes your children will love.
Each of us is at a different stage of this journey but we share the same goal: helping children eat healthy foods and encouraging the development of positive habits so they grow and feel at their best.
Wherever you are on your healthy eating journey, I am here to help you and your child. My mission is to inspire your child to develop healthy habits that they will carry with them into thriving adulthood, from quick, healthy tips on my Instagram and Facebook platforms, to healthy eating blogs on my website, LinkedIn and Twitter, to kid-friendly and funny videos about food nutrition and preparing healthy foods on my YouTube channel. I continue writing books that inspire children to eat vegetables, encourage wellness habits, celebrate diversity, and make them laugh along the way. Inspired Universe is a company devoted to children’s health and everything is based on that principle.
Join me and together we can make a difference in transforming children’s health and helping them develop healthy eating and behavioral habits.
I am super excited and grateful to share this journey with you!
Be well & stay healthy,
Aleksandra Starling

I'm excited to share my 3 new books!
"Party in the Fridge!" and "Tornado in the Kitchen" were just launched!
Did someone say, "Fruits and vegetables are having a party in the fridge?". This book will make any child laugh as they see that fruits and vegetables love dancing and being silly too! Carrots spin around with leaks, turmeric and ginger practice for the Olympics, blueberries go crazy on a celery slide…and Ms. Pineapple herself mixes music in her DJ’s booth!
“Tornado in the Kitchen” calls all mess-makers to clean up their act! From spaghetti on the wall to garbage all over the floor and glasses in the bowl. With captivating rhymes and entertaining illustrations, this story will inspire children to clean up their clutter, enjoy the feeling of a tidy kitchen, and a job well done!
