Boundary setting with snacks and meals while creating a healthy relationship with food

Many of us as adults are familiar with diet culture. We are familiar with what it means to have an unhealthy relationship of food whether we were raised in it or we have met others who have. I welcome Kate Kiersey, a dietician and founder of Well Fed Family, to discuss how we can create boundaries with snacks and meals (think promoting variety and managing excessive snacking) while simultaneously creating a healthy relationship with food. We discuss:

• How to talk to our kids about food choices 
• How to approach feeding if there is a medical concern about weight 
• How to manage the child who always seems hungry
• Handling emotional/boredom eating
