In this episode, we'll hear from Amie Guice, a Certified Eating Disorders Registered Dietitian, owner of Guice Nutrition Counseling and mom of two young sons. Amie shares her story of when her five-year-old son was assigned a worrisome nutrition assignment in preschool and what she did as a result. We discuss:
Amie's story of the assignment her son received and how it later influenced his food choices.
The value of cultivating a positive food and body environment for our kids.
The importance of children being able to trust that the food their parents provide is an appropriate and good choice.
How classroom assignments about health vs. unhealthy for preschool aged children can lead to children developing disordered thinking about food.
What parents can do if their children receive a similar assignment in school.
Ways to proactively work with your school to support educators in assigning positive assignments related to food.
How educators certainly aren't out to sabotage our kids' relationships with food, it's just that there's a lot of misinformation on this topic.
How to "fake it till you make it" in helping your kids develop a positive relationship with food if you're still unsure about your own relationship with food.
