We’re so excited to have Jill Castle, MS, RDN, CDN with us this week on the podcast to talk about helping our kid’s create a healthy relationship with food starting in childhood and lasting their whole lives. Jill is a registered dietitian, blogger, speaker, and child nutrition expert. She is also the coauthor of  Fearless Feeding , one of my favorite parenting books of all time! We’re talking with her about picky eating, avoiding food battles, and dealing with feeding jags with a long-term, whole-heath approach.
