When Your Toddler Only Wants Carbs - What's Really Happening


Listen Later

Is your toddler obsessed with carbs?

If your little one could live on pasta, crackers, and bread alone, this episode is for you. Kathy, pediatric dietitian and mom, dives into the truth about carbohydrates and why they’re actually essential for your child’s growth, development, and energy. She explains what’s really happening when your toddler only wants carbs, how to find balance without micromanaging meals, and why carbs don’t deserve the bad reputation they often get.

You’ll learn:

  • Why toddlers are naturally drawn to carb-heavy foods (and why that’s normal!)
  • What types of carbs to prioritize for balanced nutrition and steady energy
  • The difference between simple and complex carbs (and how to use both wisely)
  • How to set healthy boundaries around portions without creating “forbidden foods”
  • Why modeling a positive, neutral relationship with food starts with you
