You are not a bad parent if your child doesn’t eat dinner, or refuses their veggies, or turns their nose up at something they ate the week before. Frustrating and worrying as it can be, it’s not your fault - it’s what kids do 🤍

How is it March?! 🌼🌼🌼 The year is flying and there’s been so much change for me in 2024 already… I got a job working for an amazing public health charity, so am now an employee - as well as a business owner! Anyway, it’s a very good thing for me on a number of personal levels, and I’m glad to say the adjustment is going well. But this shift has made me more determined than ever to keep my family nutrition & child feeding business alive, and to not just provide supportive and informative services for parents, but also accessible ones. I’ve got so many ideas (watch this space) but would also love to hear about what sorts of things you think might help you… My inbox is always open 💌

Let 2024 be the year you start enjoying family mealtimes.

To quote child feeding expert Ellyn Satter (founder of the Division of Responsibility): “When the joy goes out of feeding, nutrition suffers.”

What are your mealtime goals?

This was dinner tonight and here are my 3 TOP TIPS FOR SERVING PROCESSED FOODS…

🍔 CHECK THE INGREDIENTS LABEL

>> It’s a legal requirement to list ingredients, they’ll be in weight order).

>> So if for example you’re buying burgers, chicken nuggets or fish fingers, compare different packets for the % meat/fish and choose the one with the highest.

>> The main ingredient you want to be eating should come first - so if you see water, sugar or anything else weird listed first MOVE ON and choose another brand.

>> Once you start looking and comparing you’ll be amazed by the difference between products!

🍔 SERVE ALONGSIDE OTHER NUTRITIOUS FOODS

>> Offering variety is always important, so think about what else you can offer to boost the nutritional content of the meal.

>> Here I added sweetcorn and salad in the burger. If I was more organised with my shopping and food pre (tonight was a rush!) I could have served wholemeal buns, burger cheese for added calcium and homemade potato wedges with skin on for extra fibre.

🍔 DON’T FEEL GUILTY

>> So often we beat ourselves up for not preparing freshly cooked meals but the reality is that it’s just not always possible.

>> With work schedules, kids activities and the general busy-ness and exhaustion of parent life, it’s important to have self-compassion.

>> Be kind to yourself because you are doing your best, and your best is absolutely enough. Your family will benefit from your positive, relaxed mindset 🤍

Do you agree?

True story ✨ My firstborn wasn’t an adventurous eater…

He never liked finger foods as a baby, preferring to be spoon fed orange coloured purées and yogurt. I rotated the same handful of meals week in week out whilst trying to practice what I preach about mealtime connection, repeated exposure, and pressure-free eating experiences.

This was the child who threw a tantrum when we went to a sushi restaurant on holiday one year. Strong willed, stubborn…(he knew his mind then and he certainly knows it now!)

This was the child who didn’t crawl, only shuffled around on his bottom until 14 months when he decided it was time to try standing.

The point I’m trying to make is that kids do things when they’re ready.

Whether it’s walking, talking, reading, trying new foods or sitting at a table to eat a decent meal.

We have to let them get there in their own time. And they will. All we can do is provide the most supportive environment for them to feel comfortable to explore and try.

Sometimes we expect too much of our kids, too soon. And when it comes to food, eating and mealtime behaviour I see this a lot amongst the parents I work with.

Do you ever wonder if your mealtime expectations might be too high?

Wise words from It’s not our fault, but it is our responsibility to change the narrative around food in our homes.

It’s easy to be so over focused on nutrition and what your kids are or aren’t eating, that it’s equally easy to lose sight of what’s most important when it comes to raising healthy eaters. And that’s a love of eating for hunger (fuel), for enjoyment and for connection. Get the foundations in place now and your children will be more likely to build a healthy relationship with food and eat well as they grow up and into adulthood.

How can you change the narrative around food in your home?
