Children thrive on structure and they are very good at adapting to schedules and structure when it's presented to them, and they kind of know what to expect, right and done consistently.
Feeding kids can feel like navigating a minefield, but Erin Green and Michael Gray are here to help. In this episode of 'Middleish', they dive into the common challenges parents face at the dinner table. From picky eaters to endless snacking, they tackle it all with practical advice and a touch of humor. The key concept they explore is the Division of Responsibility, a method developed by child feeding expert Ellyn Satter.
This approach emphasizes the importance of setting clear boundaries around meals and snacks to foster healthy eating habits in children. Michael shares his experiences as a parent working with other parents, while Erin brings her expertise as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to the table. Together, they offer a balanced perspective on how to manage mealtime struggles without losing your sanity.
They also discuss how our childhood eating habits shape our adult relationship with food, providing insights that are valuable even if you don't have kids. You'll find tips on how to create a consistent mealtime routine, handle food aversions, and understand the emotional connections children form with food. Whether you're dealing with a stubborn picky eater or just want to improve your family's eating habits, this episode offers practical solutions and a supportive approach.
