If you are having a hard time managing mealtimes, you are not alone!
In this episode, I talk about the struggles of staying motivated to feed our kids, especially in today's busy world. As a mum who has faced these challenges, I will share practical strategies to help you deal with picky eating, time constraints, and the pressure to provide perfect meals.
We will discuss ways to simplify your week with menu planning, adjusting expectations, and create a positive mealtime environment. I'll also talk about the importance of involving kids in meal selection and how to consider their nutritional intake more broadly.
