picky eaters

Today, we're joined by Terri Ney to talk about Nutrition, how to pack light when it comes to food, and the wild world of trekking the backwoods with small kids.

Terri is a registered dietitian and nutrition educator with nearly 15 years of experience working for interdisciplinary health teams. Terri was drawn to pediatrics early as she understood this as an opportunity to foster lasting and healthy relationships and habits with food in the next generation. Because of this, she founded Tiny Bites Nutrition in 2018 a nutrition consultancy with the aim of providing parents with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to meet their family goals, wherever they are at with whatever barriers they may face.

In 2018, Terri also decided to begin her passion as a backcountry camper, going solo with her then 8 year-old, learning as she went. Since then she's wrangled her entire family of 5 into the adventure and you'll hear all about it on today's show, as well as how she provides nutrition to keep everyone fueled in the backwoods. This is a different kind of camping for us, so we're THRILLED to have Terri join us with her expertise.

Quotes:
"I can turn this around for my kid! They don't have to grow up on processed food...this is one of my biggest responsibilities as a parent." - Julie Revelant
"A study from 2020 in the Journal of the Association for Consumer Research found that children who don't already have strong preferences for certain foods tend to choose a couple of foods, rather than just one and when asked to choose all of their snacks for the week ahead of time, instead of choosing one snack everyday, they chose a wider variety of options, including fruit."  - Julie Revelant  
"We want to give our kids choices, within reason."   - Julie Revelant 
"It has to be parents leading the way with healthy eating habits." - Julie Revelant 
"Food preferences start in utero, so what we eat during pregnancy is just as important as what we feed them after birth." - Julie Revelant 
"Let's not remind them that the last time they tasted something they didn't like it." - Jenn Trepeck
"A non-food-related reward can be quality time." - Jenn Trepeck

"One vegetarian who comes and goes, one "meat only", who eats literally no vegetables, one healthy eater, one teen boy who eats 2 dinners at least, wants carbs, one female athlete who eats 2 healthy meals, likes proteins, no tofu, but at odd hours....ugh! "

This is what I heard from one mom yesterday.  Sound familiar?  

So what is a busy mom to do??

Check out this week's episode, where Karen Santana from One Family One Menu makes it her mission to make it easy for you to ...you guessed it...make one menu for your whole family.  

Takeaways

Highlight the main ingredient when you cook, don’t be afraid to feature that

Never let your kids say ‘ew’ about food, teach your kids to use respectful language when talking about meals
Get away from making multiple dishes each meal, make sure there is at least one dish your child will eat at a meal.  Their palate will grow if they are expected to eat the same foods you have

Serve foods with flavor at an early age, expect them to eat and they will

Respect everything in the kitchen

Be enthusiastic for the ingredients you are preparing

Today, I'm sharing my perspective on the book "French Kids Eat Everything" by Karen Le  Billon.
On this Valentine's day I wanted to bring a lot of compassion to all parents, and especially to those who have so-called "picky eaters".
In her book, Karen Le Billon presents 10 rules around food and children that she put together after her year living in France.
I'm giving you my take on it, as a woman brought up in France, who became a mom in the US.
Happy listening!

In this week's episode I am helping parents identify how to know when their child is ready for preschool.  Especially keeping in mind the importance of child development.  Preschool can be a benefit everyone in the family.  It can mean your child will learn routines from other children.  They can learn how to share toys, communicate and problem solve.  You can be really amazed of how much your child will develop.  Learn about your child from a different perspective.  

In today's episode we chat with Kacie Barnes from Mama Knows Nutrition, all about nutrition for our kids!  We discuss under and over eating, food throwing, picky eaters, added sugars, and so much more.
