665. How To Help Your Kids Have A Healthy Relationship With Food

Raise your hand if you were part of the “clean plate club” growing up. 

Or maybe you saw your mom go through diet after diet, trying to shrink her body to feel better about yourself. 

Fats were demonized. Carbs were thrown in the trash. Or maybe food was scarce altogether. 

Many of us know what it’s like to model a BAD relationship with food, but how do we turn this around for our kids?
