Children 3 - 12 who are potty trained are welcome to Wise Traditions 2009 as long as they are enrolled in our children's program. For the sake of other conference attendees, we ask that parents refrain from bringing children to the conference sessions. Please note: We will serve nourishing traditional food (including fruit and natural sweeteners) but we cannot cater to special diets in the children's program. There may be casein and gluten in the children's lunches and snacks. Parents will need to supply their own food if their children are on special diets. New this year: A special room has been set aside for mothers of infants who want to attend the conference. There will be a live audio feed from one of the sessions to that room throughout the day's events. There will be no child care provided for infants and children under age 3. CONFERENCE FOOD As always, the conference will feature delicious traditional foods. To view the menus, visit http://westonaprice.org/conferences/2009/menus.html.
