Description

Do you worry that your child isn't eating enough...or is eating too much?

Do you wish they would eat a more balanced diet...but don't want to be the Vegetable Police?

Do you find yourself in constant negotiations over your child's favorite snacks?

You're not alone!

Join me for a conversation with Ellyn Satter MS, MSSW, author of many books including Child of Mine: Feeding With Love and Good Sense. Ms. Satter developed the approach to feeding children that's known as https://www.ellynsatterinstitute.org/how-to-feed/the-division-of-responsibility-in-feeding/ (Division of Responsibility), which means that the parent is responsible for the what, when, and where of eating, and the child is responsible for whether and how much.

It all sounds pretty simple, but when you're actually navigating eating with your child it can seem a whole lot more complicated:

Should we worry about our child's eating in the long term if they won't eat vegetables now?

Should we restrict access to children's food?

What should we do about picky eating?


Ms. Satter helps us to understand her ideas on these important questions and much more.

Jen Lumanlan always thought infancy would be the hardest part of parenting. Now she has a toddler and finds a whole new set of tools are needed, there are hundreds of books to read, and academic research to uncover that would otherwise never see the light of day. Join her on her journey to get a Masters in Psychology focusing on Child Development, as she researches topics of interest to parents of toddlers and preschoolers from all angles, and suggests tools parents can use to help kids thrive - and make their own lives a bit easier in the process.
