Show Notes

Welcome to episode six! In this episode, I’ll give you a seat at the table where we discuss the importance of managing food pressure at dinner time. How we talk about food significantly impacts our children's connection with food.

In this episode I explore some key questions:

Do we talk about food at the table?

How do we discuss food, and what's our tone of voice?

How much should we talk about food?

Is making a big deal about it the solution to getting our kids to eat healthy?

Does talking about food too much create more problems in the long run?

I'll also look at why we as adults act the way we do at the dinner table….and what factors influence how we behave with our kids at mealtimes.

I walk you through the differences between  "chaos mum" and the "calm mum" during dinner time, shedding some light on simple strategies for becoming a calmer mum during dinner time.

If the idea of  “calm” happy mealtime, where kids actually eat sounds good, then this episode is for you. Let’s chat about how to turn your dinner table into a happy place rather than a source of worry.
