In this episode, we delve into the complex challenge faced by parents when raising a child who is always hungry and overweight. Balancing the desire to meet your child's requests for food with the need to address their health becomes even more complicated when emotions, boredom, and societal pressures come into play.As a parent, you don't want to withhold food, but you also don't want to overfeed, both of which may lead to feelings of guilt and added complexity when your child is in a larger body. Join me as we explore the reasons behind constant hunger, from physical growth to emotional eating and boredom, and introduce six practical tips for creating a supportive food environment for your child.From understanding nutrient-rich foods to navigating emotional triggers, I aim to provide insights and support without adding to any parental guilt.
