Dietician Edwena Kennedy joins me today for her second appearance on the show -- which means she's fantastic and brimming over with practical and surprising tips! We're talking all things sweets and snacks, including: * The 2 reasons snacks become such a problem for families (and the antidote to both!)* Why cheese on a plate is different than string cheese (when it comes to training kids' brains)* An easy method to balance a satiating snack (that should be used once you dial in the 2 mistakes most parents make) * How we figure out "how much" a child should eat (and this starts in toddlerhood and needs us to do LESS, not more!)* Why teaching kids to reduce distractions during meals is primary* What Edwena coaches parents to call things like cookies and cake -- and when that language matters* Whether we should teach our kids to avoid sugary foods...or not* The most important single step to take to reign in your child's snackingEdwena is always a delight to listen to, and I can't wait to hear what you think about her message!
