Your child was born trusting their body. Somewhere between the high chair and kindergarten, the adults around them start teaching them not to.
Registered dietitian and mom of three Kerry Miller joins me to talk about body trust in kids. She is the author of Violet Learns to Pause, a picture book about listening to your body.
Kerry spent years working with women who traced their struggles with food back to childhood. A parent on a diet. A doctor's comment. A relative watching them go for seconds.
We talk about what to say at the dinner table, what to say about bodies, and what to say about GLP-1s.
In this episode you'll learn:
What interoception is and why it is the foundation of body trust
Why picky eating can take 20 to 30 exposures to shift, and how to stay pressure-free
What to say when your child asks "Do I look pretty?"
How to respond when another kid calls your child fat
How to talk to your kids about GLP-1s, including if you take one
