Description
We have lost sight of the fact that feeding our families is about human relationship and emotional well-being. If you  are struggling with your child's picky eating, or with getting you children to sit down and partake in family meals, this is the podcast episode for you!  In this episode we interview Dr. Deborah MacNamara who addresses the fact that many of us have lost sight of the fact that feeding our families is about human relationship and emotional well-being. Dr. MacNamara explores how feeding our children is part of the caretaking relationship and cannot be separated from it. Her work on this subject is informed by attachment science, developmental psychology, neuroscience, and research on human emotion. She beautifully reframes our approach to providing for our kids and helps us hit the reset button on our relationship with food. Dr. Macnamara' s website is a wealth of resources and her incredible book "Nourished" can be found here  This episode is actually a recording from our 2023 Children's Mental Health and Parenting Summit which is now part of our membership ($19.99 a month):  Get your 7-Day free trial today!
