Meal times should be a time of enjoyment and connection. But if you have a picky eater, then the power struggle is real. Today, on our latest podcast episode, I had the pleasure of connecting with Kerry Lett from Milestones Nutrition, who shares valuable tips to help families overcome picky eating in early childhood.
๐คThe Sleep Connection๐ค
Over the years, I've observed thousands of parents worry and wonder if their child has eaten enough. To be honest, this was my struggle too for so many years. Feeding and sleeping often emerge as the biggest challenges for parents, leading to disconnection.
Power struggles can lead to disconnection during meals. Often this stems from a lack of trust that our children are listening to their bodies. Children are inherently capable of tuning into their bodies and knowing when they feel satiated. However, their need for sleep is sometimes misunderstood as a need for feedings. By becoming more aware of our child's nutritional needs and approaching mealtimes with relaxed, calm confidence, we can guide them through mealtime routines more effectively.
If you find yourself struggling with mealtimes, ask for help. Listen to the full podcast episode to dive deeper into these topics and gain practical advice from Kerry.
