How a Hug Saved the Meal

How a Hug

Saved the Meal

For parents feeling exhausted trying new tactics to get their kids to eat, only to have the strategies fall flat over and over.

I am using this episode to set the stage for Beneath the Bite by introducing a new perspective on childhood eating habits centered on emotional regulation and nervous system safety. Rather than focusing only on traditional tactics, like food play strategies or specific first step to ending mealtime battles.

When mealtime resistance shows up, do you know what to do?

Your child's struggles with food are often about so much more than the food itself. When we understand the nervous system beneath the resistance, we know what to do next to change that resistance to calm bites.
