I may be a dietitian, but I still feel like feeding my kids is its own special brand of challenge. Whether dinner time feels like an uphill battle, you've got a new baby to feed or you're wondering how to help your kids have a healthier relationship with food, this is the episode for you.
I'm talking to two dietitians (and moms!) who literally wrote the book on feeding kids, Sarah Remmer RD and Cara Rosenbloom RD. Sarah and Cara are the two dietitians I trust for advice on how to wrangle my own kids into eating something other than goldfish, ha! Their down-to-earth - and sometimes downright revolutionary - guidance on childhood nutrition helps press the pause button on food drama and nutrition fear.

On this episode, we talk about:

Why feeding kids feels so tough sometimes
Why HOW you eat is as important as WHAT
How the pandemic changed family mealtimes
The importance of predictable eating structures and routines
The dietitians dish on nature vs nurture of the 'good eater'
Why being a picky or selective eater is actually really normal
What is 'division of responsibility' and how it can change how you feed your kids
The MOST common reason for power struggles at mealtime
What to do (and not do) if you're concerned about your kids' weight
How parents interfere with kids' intuitive eating and transfer their food stuff onto their children
All about what's inside Food to Grow On, their new book for pregnancy through packed lunches
Nutrients of concern for kids and whether they need supplements

Something I really appreciate about Sarah Remmer and Cara Rosenbloom is that they put things into perspective...because no one needs more stress around parenting.  They're realistic, open and honest about their own struggles with feeding their kids just as readily as they provide the 'gold standard' advice we all need to hear.
