In this episode, let's talk about your child's food approach and why it matters. Have you ever wondered why some kids eagerly embrace every meal while others seem indifferent or picky? The answer might lie in genetics.There are many notable research studies on genetics and eating behavior. One is the Gemini Twin Birth Study, which uncovers the genetic influences on your child's enjoyment of food, food responsiveness, slowness in eating, and satiety responsiveness, offering insights into their appetite and eating behaviors.To deepen our understanding, let's revisit the interview with Dr. Alison Miller, a researcher from the University of Michigan, who shares invaluable insights into appetite traits, executive functioning, and stress and how these affect children's eating behaviors. Dr. Miller's insights emphasize the importance for parents and healthcare professionals to understand and address these factors for fostering positive and healthy eating experiences.So, if you've ever wondered why your child approaches food the way they do, this episode is a must-listen.
