Episode 88 : Supporting overweight children with their health

In this episode, I'm talking about supporting an overweight child without making food a battleground or creating a difficult relationship with their body in the process. As a Paediatric Dietitian with 25 years of clinical experience in children's nutrition, I know how much parents worry about getting this wrong. The guilt, the confusion, the fear of saying something that tips their child into disordered eating , it's real, and it matters. So I'm walking you through exactly how I approach this in consultations. My approach, what i do and what I definitely don't do!! In this episode, I cover: Why I Never Count Calories  How I talk about hunger and eating  The psychy of deprivation The Plate Balance  Ultra-Processed Foods and Appetite Control Our role as parents   Show Notes For quick easy food ideas and nutritious foods your family will actually eat: Healthy Recipes for Kids Access the Free Kids Nutrition Library — blogs, food reviews and guides all in one place: Free Info Ready to get a personalised plan for your child?
