Have you ever thought, "I know what my child should be eating... so why won't they actually eat it?"
If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm talking about one of the biggest frustrations parents face. Knowing what healthy eating looks like is one thing, but helping your child become someone who actually wants to eat nutritious foods is something completely different.
We'll explore why feeding children isn't simply about nutrition knowledge. It's about understanding the science and psychology behind how children learn to eat. From appetite and sensory preferences to family routines, mealtime pressure and confidence, there are so many factors that influence whether a child becomes a happy, confident eater.
Whether you're supporting a picky eater, a fussy eater, or simply feeling overwhelmed by mealtimes, this episode will help you shift your focus from what your child should eat to how you can help them get there.
