Anna L. and Elizabeth chat with Diana Rice, a registered dietitian who works with both children and adults to put positive family feeding dynamics into practice, and heal food-related issues brought on by medical conditions or years of chronic dieting.

They discuss:

• Why packing school lunches can feel like such a chore to parents.
• The problem with Bento boxes/insta-ready lunches.
• Managing packing lunches day-to-day, week-by-week.
• Recommendations for packing lunches for picky eaters.
• When kids can start packing their own lunches, or at least help packing lunches.

About Diana: she is the founder of Tiny Seed Family Nutrition. Family feeding is my passion, but people are often surprised to find out that I care a lot more about how your family feels about food than exactly what you’re eating! Don’t get me wrong, as a dietitian and as a parent myself, I absolutely believe that all children (and adults!) deserve and will benefit from great nutrition. I hope to help you achieve that. But without the foundation of a healthy relationship with food, gentle nutrition is a lot harder to put into practice.As parents and caregivers, our own relationships with food and our bodies will influence our children’s approach to these things more than any other factor. Because of this, Tiny Seed Family Nutrition works with both children and adults to put positive family feeding dynamics into practice and heal food-related issues brought on by medical conditions or years of chronic dieting.
