How to Raise Kids to Have a Healthy Relationship with Food (Without Pressure or Power Struggles) with Kids Eat In Color | Ep. 142

How we talk about food, model it and the environment we create around it all impacts our children's relationship with food!

In this episode, I’m joined by Kids Eat In Color to break down what a healthy relationship with food actually looks like and how to approach meals and snacks without pressure, bribing, or power struggles.

In this episode, we cover:

• What a healthy relationship with food really looks like
• How to approach snacks and whether they help or hurt appetite 
• How to build balanced, filling meals that actually hold kids over 
• The truth about using food to soothe (and what to do instead) 
• How our own relationship with food impacts our kids 
• Thoughts on dessert, sugar, and raising kids without obsession around sweets 
• What to do when your child fixates on “fun foods” at parties or playdates 
• A realistic approach to picky eating 
• How to avoid labeling foods as “good” or “bad” 
• Creating a mealtime environment that feels calm, not stressful
