Why "They'll Eat if They're Hungry" Doesn't Always Work for Picky Eaters
Manage episode 490700487 series 2686793
“They’ll eat if they’re hungry.” This CAN be true for many kids when it comes to feeding and picky eating, but for some kids it’s not great advise. I welcome Dr. Taylor Arnold, a PhD, registered dietician, and founder Growing Intuitive Eaters and she is on a mission to foster a healthy relationship with food and teach adults how to talk to kids about food in a positive way.
She joins me to discuss:
Why this advice can lack a lot of nuance
When to know or be concerned your child may have an underlying issue regarding feeding solids
Why online guidance around feeding sometimes lacks necessary nuance
