When Christopher was writing the Healthy Child Healthy World book, he referred to his wife as being a lighter shade of green than him.  I thought it was a clever way to talk about where people are on the spectrum without judging who’s doing more or less.  Every shade of green is beautiful...

My boys are 4 and almost 3 years old. Our home has been toxins FREE for two and a half years now. Finding your site was exciting and inspirational!!

I recently attended a Healthy Home Party and loved it!! Loved it so much that I am planning one in my local area. Recently got my Kit and I can't wait to share!!

I'll definitely share with you how it went :)

Thank you Healthy Child,

Thank you, thank you for this book. I could not put it down. The first thing I did is check my sippy cups and I went out and bought different plates and bowls for my boys. I have four boys with allergy problems (asthma and eczema) and it's so important to me that I do everything I can to help them.

My husband is a pediatrician and he's tried every topical medication on my baby for his eczema...nothing has worked. I truly believe that his environment can be a factor. I'm taking one step at a time to change things. Thank you again for providing this resource for parents like me who don't know where to start.

I must say I feel like I am a walking advertisement for your book and website!! I am constantly referring people to both. It has been such an eye opener for me. Although at times I feel overwhelmed by everything I would like to change in our home environment, I also feel empowered to make changes to improve the health of our children. I remind myself that each change is a step in the right direction. And I feel like I owe it to every child out there to spread the word... which is why I have become a walking advertisement for you. I keep telling people that I really don't work for you but I wish I did! :)

Keep up the great work! It is such important work. I don't know what I would do without your fabulous resources. Thank you!

I love the resources on HealthChild.org and although I live in Canada, I'm telling all my friends, especially those with or expecting children, to check out your websites!! I'm hosting one of their events; A Healthy Home Party soon. I love that I can help make a difference just by having a friendly get together that helps families get informed while sharing experiences and great food!!
Keep up this Great and Important work!!
All the best!!
