Description
Are healthy mealtimes at your house often a place of struggle? Have you ever thought, “My child won’t eat anything but junk food”? So many families experience these issues, and there is hope to move from “picky, picky” to peace around food. The way may be simpler than you expect through consistency, effort, and flexibility.
In today’s episode, Christina Jax (Registered Dietician and Nutritionist) joins Stacy Bellward (podcast host) to discuss mealtimes, food choices, and supporting kids to eat a variety of healthy foods. Christina brings her experience as a mom to a child with sensory issues and her professional background to offer practical ideas for improving a child’s experiences with food.
In this podcast, you’ll discover:
- factors that may contribute to a child’s selective food choices
- the difference between sensory issues and preferences when it comes to food
- why consistency and flexibility are effective tools for offering new foods at the table
- the importance of involving a child in meal planning and preparation
- that an awareness of your own relationship with food can help keep your issues from influencing your child’s experiences with food
