202: Why Eating Isn't About Food and What Parents of Picky Eaters Can Do About It

See all the links and resources we mentioned here: https://kidscookrealfood.com/attachment-and-food/

Its so rare that I get to speak to a professional who marries FOOD and parenting, so I was tickled to sit down with Dr. Deborah MacNamara, who wrote a whole book about the relationship between food andrelationships!

This conversation will keep you on the edge of your seat with lightbulb moment after lightbulb moment, and I think it will also change the face of many family dinners in homes around the world.

We discuss:

* Why no one needs to learn how to parent, how to teach a child to grow up
* The REAL root cause of most picky eating (and why thats in quotation marks)
* What can make kids want to eat certain foods (and avoid others - or certain times of eating)
* The answer to parents' frustrated question: Why does my child eat X at daycare and refuses to at home!?
* What must come before food in any successful family dinner
* Deborahs personal humble confession about mistakes she made while feeding her highly sensitive daughter
* The real root of why family dinners have so many positive outcomes
* Why teaching kids to cook is a way of caretaking (and the beauty of learning from and with family) to my great relief!
* A truly surprising natural part of development (and why the window from age 2-5 is critical for supporting growth in this area)
* The latest counter-cultural philosophy I think you should adopt ;)

No one is talking about food and attachment - and we must!

Deborah and I could have talked for hours, and were so grateful for this time to share our hearts (and her professional wisdom) with you.

May your family dinners and they way you build food relationships with your children be ever changed!
