Family in Focus with Wendy Schofer, MD

"I just want my kid to have a healthy relationship with food."

What does that even mean? It's a new approach, better than the whole let's-just-focus-on-changing-body-size, and yet I sure didn't learn about cultivating healthy relationships with food growing up. In fact, I share stories about how I messed it up with my own kids and what we can do right now as parents to start helping our kids.

• Understand our own relationship with food
• Why it's not about the way they eat
• How to find out more about your child's relationship with food

Brains, Pandemics, Weight, and Trauma...

Ooph - yeah, it sounds like a hard topic, but we're going to explore today a few concepts that have been spinning through my head and readings, of course with laughter, stories, analogies and (once again) Allen Iverson references.

Let's talk about the very important function of 2 different parts of our brain: amygdala and prefrontal cortex (aka downstairs and upstairs brains)

with a nod to Daniel Siegel, MD and Tina Bryson, PhD wh wrote "The Whole-Brain Child".

We explore the increasing rates of overweight and obesity from 2020 onward, with a different perspective about the why.

And most importantly, what we can do to address the chronic activation we have of our threat detection centers, and why "feeling better" with food and electronics isn't actually helping to heal the underlying wounds.

Seriously, y'all, if you're gonna have your first-ever podcast guest, who are you gonna have?

P!nk? Yup, thought about it.

My sister? She's coming...

And Corinne Freaking Crabtree!

The Queen Bee of the No BS Weight-loss Program, host of Losing 100 lbs with Corinne, she is a force to be reckoned with, and one down-to-Earth woman.

And that's what I love about her: talking real-talk about raising healthy families, building the whole family up instead of all that crappy judgy bologna, and how we're only doing things that can be done by the whole family, at every age.

Sound familiar? I know. She's my peeps. Take a listen. And you can find Corinne just about everywhere:

“This is just the way I am.”

That is THE biggest obstacle to change: thinking that you are your habits, your actions, your thoughts and feelings. Thinking that they are set in stone.

Nope, they are just practiced a lot. And when we practice things they become relatively automatic, Default Mode is activated in our brains.

What to do?

Take a listen about how to detect default mode and the three steps I'm using right now (complete with a fun adult soccer story) to create change.

"I'm only as happy as my unhappiest child."

What on Earth?! With all the kid-angst and unhappiness that kids experience, it sounds crazy to think that we would tie our emotions to theirs. But do you see that happening? Do you try to make your kids feel better so you can feel better?

Let's talk about recognizing that there is an ongoing drive to have happy, healthy kids. And yet, it's not really helping them or us.

Have you heard the questions about identifying your kids’ needs? It's really the heart to understanding their behavior, but let's not jump too far ahead:

When's the last time you asked what YOU need?

This is critical for health as an individual and a family: identifying and meeting needs. And in order to be the parent that our kids need, we have the opportunity to understand and address OUR needs.

That's not selfish, it's a freaking need.

Join me to understand what needs really are, how to uncover and address them, and why it's important for our health and our family's health.

"You're the worst parent in the world."

"You've f'd me up."

Ah, kids. Gotta love them. They sure know how to make us feel amazing. 

That's what we're talking about today: the explicit is for feeling "shitty" a few times, and "f'd up" wihtout the rest of the word (you're welcome... and there are very quick "ear-muffs" warnings.)

This is real-deal parenting: kids do not agree with the job that we are doing. Let's talk about boundaries and pushing back as kids, how it's normal, and.. how to not make it mean that we are the shittiest parents in the world, no matter what they say.

BTW, I did check: the shittiest parents are not listening to FIF with WS, MD. So, there's that.

We've been working through a series on stress eating, and we need to understand the stress first. We've started with ourselves: understanding our stress, what we do with stress.

Now we can start talking about helping our children. (After all, we can't just swoop in and address their stress and stress eating if we don't have a solid understanding for ourselves first.)

Today, learn about our natural desire to fix the stress, try to not feel it, and what can happen if we keep it bottled up inside. And learn how we can truly help our children grow through the stress.

Continuing on from Episode #80, "How to deal with stress eating," we dive into 8 ways... yes 8, to address the stress.

Please notice if there's stress about 8... you can try any one and see how it works for you.

That's the ticket: awareness, experimentation, curiosity and noticing how we stress about stress (dude, me too).

As parents, we get to understand our stressors and how to deal with it, so we can then help our kids (oh you betcha that's what's coming in Part 3, next week!).

Do you find yourself stressed out, collapsing on the couch with a bag of tortilla chips in exhaustion, and scrolling on social media?

You are not alone: stress eating is so common for us and our kids.

In order to address it we need to understand it. Just addressing the eating part is a plan for disaster as it changes eating habits without addressing the stress in the first place.

Today we talk about what we experience with stress (aka the stress cycle), and how to understand it to get clear on the stress at home.

Next week, we are going to continue with the steps to start dealing with the stress.

As always, first: observe to understand, later: take action.

Feel free to drop me an email, referencing Episode #80/stress cycle and what is coming up for you as you are journaling.

Full show notes available here, including the fun graphics on the stress cycle.

What happens when we focus on the scale?

Finding it hard to NOT do it? In this episode, I share the story of how I smacked face-first into the reality that it is really hard to not focus on what the scale says. But also, what happens when we practice not letting it have control over our lives.

We think we need to focus on weight: after all, isn't that how we identify a problem and fix it?

In today's episode, I start the conversation about how there's more to it. Our focus on weight has NOT been helping our families. In fact, it's causing more problems.

Let's dive in and see what we can do. Where should we be placing our focus for health?

This is from my recent guest article on the KevinMD.com blog.

Previously we discussed doing a little sleuthing - observing behaviors. What is it that your kids are doing? What are you finding out about the patterns of their behavior?

This week we are exploring what comes before the behaviors. 

Why do we do the things that we do?

It's not as mysterious as what it's made out to be. In fact, we pretty much do everything for one reason:

emotions.

We have a feeling that leads us to act, or to not act. Or perhaps we are totally uncomfortable with a feeling, so we do something else to avoid feeling it.

Take a listen to Episode #74 and learn about the emotions that drive behaviors, and how to apply this in your home.
