Do you struggle with feeding your kids?


If you do, you’re not alone. 


Jennifer Anderson is a registered dietician, a wife, and most importantly, a mom, and she has spent a lot of time studying the world of food, culture, and family to find solutions to the struggle so many of us have: feeding our kids.


We’re talking about why the old rules about how to get kids to eat healthy just don't work anymore, why it’s not your fault if you struggle getting your kid to eat well, and the foundational base to get your kids eating - and loving - healthy food.


Jennifer also shares her tips for getting your picky eaters to eat more than chicken nuggets and french fries and how to balance the fine line between encouraging healthy eating habits and perpetuating diet culture.
