“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
