In this episode I'm being interviewed by friend and colleague Sarah Dempster about the pressure that parents face to raise 'perfect' eaters, from fertility and early pregnancy onwards.  In this episode we discuss: ✨The messages we receive around nutrition and how these can add to the idea that there is a right and wrong way to eat for conception, pregnancy and beyond ✨Why feeding littles can be such an emotive topic ✨Why it's not your fault if your kid suddenly stops eating certain foods ✨ The long-term repercussions of such an intense focus on 'perfect' eating in childhood ✨ Why using food to soothe can be part of your emotional coping toolkit ✨Why we need to be critical about the messages we share around food and nutrition ✨ Why we need more person-centred care in nutrition and dietetics {Follow Sarah on Instagram} {Subscribe to Eating Words Podcast}{Sarah’s Website}{Episode 93 of DSMG with Sarah} {Sign up to our Raising Intuitive Eaters Course} {Follow me on Bub Appétit} {Our Intuitive Eating & Weight Inclusive Guides to PCOS, IBS and more} {Book in for a 1-off session with a Nutrition Counsellor} {Book in for a discovery call to learn how we can help you} {Sign up to our Just Eat It; Your Intuitive Eating Toolkit course} {Sign up for our newsletter} {Follow us on Insta!}
