Welcome to the fourth episode of our 10-part series on the "Dos & Don'ts" of Feeding Kids, in which I walk you through 10 ways to eliminate mealtime battles and create an environment where your child of any age is more willing to eat.
Today, I'm diving into "Don't" #4: Restriction... this might seem like an obvious "don't" if you're wanting your kid(s) to eat more. But restriction is sneaky and it most of us end up using it as a method to get our kids to eat. Not convinced? Listen to find out the ways restriction shows up when we feed our kids and whether or not it has an impact on how a child eats. If you have ANY struggles with your kids around food and eating, tune in and make sure you haven't missed any of the previous episodes in this series!
All of the tips I'm sharing can be used to tackle picky eating and create better eating and mealtime experiences for kids of any age and ability. Join us!
