If you’ve said these things before, no shame. Truly.
We’re all doing the best we can with the information we have. ❤️
And you might be thinking:
“But my kid ONLY wants the dessert or the carbs.”
“They’ll never eat the other foods unless I pressure them.”
I get it. It can really feel that way.
And I’ve had to really bite my tongue when my kid ignores the vegetables as if they don’t even exist.
But pressure tactics often keep you stuck in a power struggle around food and can actually backfire over time.
The truth is, if the goal is just getting them to eat the broccoli tonight, pressure might work.
But if the goal is raising kids who:
🥑eat a variety of foods
😋trust their hunger and fullness
🍪 can have one or two cookies and feel satisfied (instead of asking for them all day)
…then we have to look at the bigger picture.
That means creating an environment that helps kids naturally learn to regulate around all foods and gradually expand what they’re willing to eat.
That’s exactly what I help parents do, with practical strategies that reduce the mealtime battles, stress, and the shame you may feel about what your kids do/don’t eat.
So we can help your kid grow up with a healthy relationship to food.
If you’d like support with this, send me a DM and we can see if it’s a good fit to work together.
