Managing Mealtime Madness

8: The Division of Responsibility in Feeding Kids - How to Quickly Improve Your Child's Eating Habits


Listen Later

In this episode of Managing Mealtime Madness, we’re diving into one of the most effective frameworks for reducing stress at the table: Ellyn Satter’s Division of Responsibility in Feeding (sDOR). This evidence-based approach ties into everything when feeding kids (babies through adolescents!) and helps parents create a positive mealtime environment while allowing children to develop healthy eating habits and a strong relationship with food.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What the Division of Responsibility is and why it’s a game-changer for family meals
  • The parent’s role versus the child’s role at mealtime
  • How to handle picky eating, food refusal, and higher/lower weight child eating habits
  • Practical tips for making meals more enjoyable for everyone
