This is a challenge a lot of parents face – how to get their kids to eat without being so picky!   Joining me for this conversation is Jennifer House, who has been a Registered Dietitian for 16 years. She has owned First Step Nutrition for the past 13 years, where she helps to make feeding families easier, with a focus on Baby-led Weaning and Picky Eating. Jennifer has published two books and regularly appears in the media.    We go into: [3:40] This episode’s case study [7:10] Why it’s okay for our kids’ appetites to fluctuate  [9:00] The Division of Responsibility by Ellyn Satter [14:35] The kids’ responsibility when it comes to eating [18:25] Intuitive eating for kids [19:00] How to spot the difference between sensory processing challenges and picky eating [33:50] Why kids are picky to begin with [40:00] Advice parents need to know when it comes to picky eating   Jen earned her BSc in Nutrition & Food Science from the University of Alberta, and before starting First Step Nutrition, she completed an MSc in Human Nutrition from the University of British Columbia.
