In another engaging episode of SNACK Club, we dive into the intricate dance of mealtime roles and responsibilities between caregivers and children. This episode is all about creating a mindful and nourishing feeding environment by understanding the division of responsibility.
Our experts share their insights and experiences to help caregivers navigate the often-challenging world of feeding children. They explore the concept of the "five Ws" – who, what, when, where, and whether – and discuss how these elements play a crucial role in establishing a harmonious mealtime routine.
Participants will learn about the importance of trust in the feeding relationship, the subtle yet powerful differences between pressuring and encouraging, and how to recognize and respect a child's hunger and fullness cues. Through compelling storytelling and practical examples, this episode offers valuable strategies for fostering a positive eating environment that allows children to thrive.
Join us for an insightful conversation that promises to change the way you approach mealtime with your little ones. Leave with a deeper understanding of how to raise a mindful eater.
