This is the 7th episode of our 10-part series on the "Dos & Don'ts" of Feeding Kids, in which I walk you through 10 ways to eliminate mealtime battles and create an environment where your child of any age is more willing to eat.
This episode is split into two parts - the second of which will be released next Wednesday! I'm doing a deep dive into a complex factor that impacts how our children eat and how everyone feels during meal times. You'll get an introduction to this topic along with the first handful of elements that can be modified to help kids grow into happy, healthy eaters!
All of the tips I'm sharing in this series can be used to tackle picky eating and create better eating and mealtime experiences for kids of any age and ability. Join us!
