In this episode, I’m talking about food.
Does your toddler refuse pasta because the shape is “wrong”?
Or does your teenager come home from school every day with an energy drink and packet of crisps?
Don’t worry, you are not alone. The struggle is real and it can feel relentless (pun not intended 😆).
But underneath every food battle is the same thing: pressure. It can be their body’s cravings, it can be developmental, it can be social, or (here’s the brutal truth) it might even be us. However, once you understand what’s actually going on in your child’s brain and body, everything changes.
So in today’s bucket-emptying episode, I talk you through the five practical things you can do that genuinely change the game between your kids and food. No battles. No bribing. No guilt. Just simple, doable shifts that help your child build a healthy relationship with food over time.
And the best part: you can start doing these five things right now.
So if food has become a battleground in your home, this episode will help you take back control of the long game.
So take a seat, pour yourself a cuppa, and enjoy the conversation…
