I've been gradually increasing my consumption of raw foods and am now eating about 95% raw. I have a 4-year-old daughter who's not so easily adjusting. I have now got her used to helping me make green juices and eating salads, but she absolutely will not drink a smoothie or any other raw concoction, even raw cookies and bars. I still give her cheese and yogurt because I am worried that she isn't getting enough protein, calcium. Also, her teachers at preschool give both her and I a hard time because I don't pack her 'normal' foods! Does anyone have any advice for a little one?

I also have a 4 year old (son) and can really sympathise, although I think the response from the pre-school is outrageous, I am guessing you are Stateside? I live in London and the Government are promoting '5 a day' (fruit and veg) so I can put what I want in the packed lunch. My son is also Autistic so has to have gluten free diet, which the school fully support.
Anyway, what I would do is really take advantage of the Christmas break, I am assuming you are not back in full time work yet? In any event, if you have a break over the Christmas holidays you can really consolidate your efforts, and it does take time. We now make our own milk, using hemp seeds, one cup to four of water. Add vanilla and agave/dates to taste. You can also split this 50/50 with sesame seeds ( a great source of calcium). My son loves watching me make the milk and squeezing the mixture through a sprout/nutmilk bag.
I have been 100% raw from the get-go a fortnight ago, and have my son loves trying juices now that he is involved cutting things up, and filling up the blender. I also started by getting myself a 'special' glass for the drinks, and then a straw.
My son immediately wanted to copy me, so I gave him a special glass and a straw, that made it a novelty and he had some.
Our favourite smoothie is a Freaky Deaky which I got off of Rawmedia website, with Melissa Mango. It is about a cup of freshly pressed orange juice, a cup of frozen pinnapple chunks, (I regularly buy pineapple, cut them into chunks and store in freezer)and lastly some Kale leaves. I now also have spinache (this makes the smoothie go a fantastic lime green colour). I also add parsley too as it is so good for the liver. If you get the blend right you can't really taste the greens. Don't forget they are also a great source of calcium.
The other thing is do you have any really good books?
I have Detox your World by Shazzie and also a new book called Raw Living by Kate Wood, both of whom are from the U.K.
She has 4 school age children all raw.
I have three children, although 2 are grown up now, and I have to say I found yoghurt very addictive. If it is cows milk it also predisposes to tonsilitus and excess mucus, I should try to bin that as soon as you can.
I found with my son, you will get lots of protests for a good week or so, but if you chuck out and don't rebuy stuff you don't want her to have, she will come round.It's usually all about psychology with kids.
Good Luck you are doing a really great job!

p.s. do you have access to a garden? I'm an orgnanic horticulturalist, and I really believe growing fruit and vegetables connects children in a permanent and magical way to a healthy life_style_. If you don't have acces to a garden you can grow herbs on a kitchen windosill in pots, your daughter may love planting the seeds to do this, paint the pots bright colours with her and make it fun. I know these tips are a bit of a long-term answer, hope this helps though!

Have just found a great website you might like to try
rawdivas.com Lots of stuff on being a raw mum.

thank you so much for the ideas! I'm going to find the information you referred to. About the garden, we are excited to start one. My daughter drew a picture of what she would like to grow. I live in a townhome connected on three sides with a small courtyard. I'm thinking we may try a rooftop garden.

The rooftop garden sounds lovely. Lots of things will grow in pots or grow-bags. You don't say which country you are living in, but I would suggest tomatoes and courgettes which will grow in pots, as will, scallions, come and cut again lettuce, everlasting spinach, and lots of greens like mizuna and land cress (full of vitamins and calcium). I would also go for goji berries, they will grow in tubs and also cape gooseberries. You can also grow soft fruit such as blackcurrant in a tub, or train a bramble such as tayberry or blackberry to go up a fence or trelis. If you want to grow herbs, then you need to add a 50% mixture of grit or horticultural sand in the pot, as they grow best in this ratio.
If you don't mind telling me which Country you live in, I will have a look at my Horticultural books for you and see what grows best in your 'zone'.

I live in Las Vegas, NV, USA. It is SOOO dry here! We don't get much rainfall, just sun and wind and more sun I really appreciate all of your advice! I wish it were time to get planting, but I'm sure the planning is much more important. I saw in a magazine (not sure which one) a pergola covered in citrus. Do you think this is possible in my climate? Thanks again, and happy holidays to you and your family!
