I wanted to share with you again today a blog post from last summer, written for me by Milda Nutrition Path.
Helping children develop a positive relationship with food is something I talk about a lot as an outcome of my How to feed your fussy eater courses.
I focus on supporting parents with this because there is so much more to food than just the act of eating. What we do with and say to our children around food now, will influence their behaviour and relationship with food for life.
There are many messages we use around food, some of them instilled in us during our childhood, and many of them really unhelpful – were you ever told ‘you can’t leave the table until you’ve finished everything on your plate’? Milda addresses these unhelpful messages and shares some great tips to support us as we help our children to develop their skills for life.
