Feeding Humans

How to handle sweets with your kids


Listen Later

Today's episode starts out with a follow up from the previous discussion about the Division of Responsibility in family feeding. Katherine offers a couple of tips to address common challenges that often arise and trip up parents in the early implementation of this feeding framework. 

Then, we will dive into the topic of sugar and sweets and how to manage them with kids. Katherine will explain why sugar isn't the boogeyman that conventional wisdom would have us believe, and why it's important to support kids establishing a functional relationship with sweets to give them the opportunity to build skills around these highly palatable foods. Ultimately, we want kids to be able to take care of themselves, feed themselves well and enjoy food without being ruled by it. Katherine offers two ways you can serve sweets in your family that allows kids to develop a balanced relationship with sweets and get to know their bodies.
