TNC 112: How to Help Kids Eat Better
The kids are home for summer and eating and feeding naturally intensifies. That structure associated with school is looser, and food options are influenced by heat, outdoor activities and yes, the sweet tooth. My bet is you'll have to find a way to keep structure, boundaries and reasonable choices in place. That's why I'm sharing this episode again – 5 feeding rules to help your child eat better. Some of these are intuitive, some not so much. All of them could be helpful to you. If you've got time over the summer to dig a little deeper into nutrition and feeding, consider taking my fully revamped program The Nourished Child Blueprint. You can find it over on TheNourishedChild.com. For now, I hope you're off to a great summer. I'll be back live next fall. Until then, Take a listen.
