Sometimes it feels like it's never-ending, both the requests from children and the other people feeding our kids!
Dietician Edwena Kennedy joins me today for her second appearance on the show -- which means she's fantastic and brimming over with practical and surprising tips!
We're talking all things sweets and snacks, including:
* The 2 reasons snacks become such a problem for families (and the antidote to both!) * Why cheese on a plate is different than string cheese (when it comes to training kids' brains) * An easy method to balance a satiating snack (that should be used once you dial in the 2 mistakes most parents make) * How we figure out "how much" a child should eat (and this starts in toddlerhood and needs us to do LESS, not more!) * Why teaching kids to reduce distractions during meals is primary * What Edwena coaches parents to call things like cookies and cake -- and when that language matters * Whether we should teach our kids to avoid sugary foods...or not * The most important single step to take to reign in your child's snacking
Edwena is always a delight to listen to, and I can't wait to hear what you think about her message!
