In this episode, I'm talking about supporting an overweight child without making food a battleground or creating a difficult relationship with their body in the process.

As a Paediatric Dietitian with 25 years of clinical experience in children's nutrition, I know how much parents worry about getting this wrong. The guilt, the confusion, the fear of saying something that tips their child into disordered eating , it's real, and it matters.

So I'm walking you through exactly how I approach this in consultations. My approach, what i do and what I definitely don't do!!

In this episode, I cover:

• Why I Never Count Calories
• How I talk about hunger and eating
• The psychy of deprivation
• The Plate Balance
• Ultra-Processed Foods and Appetite Control
• Our role as parents
