225. BTS: What do I do if my child would never stop eating unless I restrict them?
Description
Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...
3:02 - The combination of a child who loves eating and a mom's anxiety about how much she is eating can be tricky.
4:04 - Strategies for slowing down mealtimes to build your child's ability for "tuning into their belly" versus just enjoying the taste of the food.
5:29 - What types and methods of restrictions are appropriate and which ones do you want to try to avoid.
10:42 - Understanding what is your job as a parent and what is your child's job, from the division of responsibility principles from Ellyn Satter's work.
12:14 - Limiting foods that are highly enhanced to make the flavors so rewarding that hunger/fullness cues are easily drowned out by the desire for more dopamine hits.
16:51 - Zoom out and look at meals of the week versus each individual meal.
17:44 - If your child does eat too much and feels uncomfortable from being too full, that can help them learn too.
