Is your kid an intuitive eater?

from The Intentional Table

Your child is capable of listening to their body, eating a variety of foods, and not being obsessed with sweets.Yes, even if they seem to have "no off switch" around food. Even if they're extremely "picky". Even if it feels like they've always been this way.The truth is: kids are born intuitive eaters. They instinctively know how to listen to their hunger and fullness cues, seek out the nutrients they need, and stop when they've had enough. Just like a newborn cries for milk and pulls away when full.But something can get in the way of, or compete with, that natural ability.In this episode, I'm breaking down:Why kids are naturally intuitive eaters (and what that actually means)The three types of interference that disrupt your child's natural eating instincts - internal, circumstantial, and feeding dynamicsReal client stories of kids who seemed "broken" around food but completely transformed when the interference was removedHow to do a quick inventory to figure out what might be getting in the way for YOUR childWhen you understand that your child is capable - they just need the right support and environment - everything changes. You can remove what's in the way and support them to be an intuitive eater.It is never too late to make these shifts. Your child is capable, resilient, and wants to do well with food.
