#87: 3 Conversations You Should Be Having With Your Kids About Food (And 1 You Shouldn’t)

Let's get real for a sec. We all know how challenging it can be when the world bombards us with mixed messages about food and diets. So how on earth are we supposed to make sense of our own relationship with food - let alone teach our kids to be normalized eaters so they don’t end up with terrible body image and a lifelong battle with food? Take a deep breath, because in this episode we’re going to be talking about the essential conversations that you can have with your kids that will help them have a peaceful relationship with food for the rest of their lives. There are key concepts that will help kids feel confident and at ease with food… …AND there’s 1 major topic that I recommend you stay away from because it can backfire and have unintended consequences.  Even if you don’t have kids, or your kids are grown and living on their own, there’s going to be something in this episode for you because you can use it to think about the messages you received about food as you were growing up.  We'll explore how the intuitive eating approach sets the stage for a lifetime of balanced nutrition and positive body image. Trust me, friends, this episode will equip you with the tools to raise mindful eaters who truly understand their bodies' hunger and fullness cues. Parents, let's embrace our role as the guiding force behind our children's relationship with food. Together, we'll discover how to empower them to make wise choices, embrace self-awareness, and practice mindfulness when it comes to nourishing their beautiful bodies.
