info_outlineđ Exciting New Series Alert! đ
Hey there, ever feel like you're caught in a daily struggle over meals and snacks with your kids? You want the best for them, a life free from the food battles you knew, but it seems like every dinnertime turns into a skirmish over greens and grains.
This week on Nourished to Bloom, weâre exploring these very struggles with our first installment of "How to Raise an Intuitive Eater." As a mom raising three young children, I've seen firsthand how our well-meaning attempts to steer kids towards âhealthy eatingâ can backfire, creating more stress than health.
Here's a nugget from this week that truly struck a chord...
Our typical approachâlimiting sweets and emphasizing "healthy" choicesâmight be setting our kids up for the same dieting traps we've wrestled with. In trying to protect them, we might inadvertently be passing down our tangled food legacies.
Think about it. Have you ever restricted a treat with the hope of nurturing good habits, only to have your child fixate on the very thing youâve withheld?
đŹ Instead of a sugar ban, envision a world where your child naturally reaches for an apple and finds equal joy in a slice of cake, without a side of guilt.
This episode is all about reexamining our roles and fostering an environment that lets the natural intuitive eater in each childâand in ourselvesâflourish.
