78. How to Help Your Children Have a Healthy Relationship with Food with Dr. Taylor Arnold

Feeding your children can be a struggle. Some of your kids may love one type of food while the other despises it. Everyone is so different and has different tastes but feeding your children is important for them to grow healthy and strong. 

Dr. Taylor Arnold is a kids nutrition expert, nutrition PhD, pediatric dietitian and mom of two, soon to be three. She specializes in helping parents shape healthy relationships with food so their kids grow to be confident eaters who eat veggies and don't obsess over sweets. She has a YouTube channel with free courses for parents about healthy eating habits, picky eating, and infant solids introduction. 

Her mission is to change the world by making this information accessible and affordable to everyone, and to help parents raise the next generation of eaters to love and nourish their bodies. 

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Taylor Arnold about intuitive eating, how to introduce new foods with young kids in creative ways, how to incorporate safe eating and so much more. This episode is a must if your child is a picky eater as Dr. Taylor Arnold gives great tips and advice to introduce new foods as well.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Where to start in building a healthy relationship with food for your child and for yourself!

  • How parents broaden their children’s palates to set them up for a future of wanting to try new foods.

  • Food diversions and how to expand food variety. 

  • Utilizing safe foods to introduce new foods with selective eaters.

  • What to do when kids want to snack all day long.
