Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments

So many parents and families struggle with pickiness in children’s eating habits. Our guest today, Gitte, has figured out what exactly might be the problem. With years in child psychology, she believes that the problem doesn’t lie in the food-- but rather their experience during mealtime. Gitte has developed a 4-week course called Real Food Hero, where she teaches us how to take back our mealtimes and allow our kids to grow a healthy relationship with food. Be sure to tune in on this episode so we can help our kids develop good eating habits!   Episode Highlights: Why pickiness is not about the food, but the environment during mealtimes Gitte’s experience during mealtime with her kids Letting go of controlling what they eat at the table Why bribing or threatening our kids isn’t the answer Late night bites before bed are not necessarily a bad thing Changing how we see sweets and treats, using them in moderation   Connect with Gitte: Website | Real Food Hero Instagram | Real Food Hero   You can check out her Real Food Hero in 4-Weeks course here.
