Feeding and eating is a realm of family life that changes as kids get older, which is easy for some parents and more difficult for others.  What does empowerment and leadership look like as teens eat more socially and have more time away from the home? How can parents be a healthy part of a teen's relationship with food? In this episode two of Opal's Co-Founders, Julie Church, RDN, CD and Kara Bazzi, LMFT, CEDS offer invitations for parents to trust, talk and support their teens, using some of Ellyn Satter's materials to guide what is most important in the parent and teen feeding relationship.
