“Ugh! I know! But when you say that it makes me not want to do it even more!”
This is what my daughter yelled back to my husband and it’s exactly what happens with food.
The more we push kids to eat their vegetables, finish their protein, try just one bite… the more they don’t want to do it. The more they resist.
Not because they’re being difficult. But because that’s how humans work. Pressure, or being told what to do, creates more resistance. It’s psychology.
And you’re not wrong to want your kid to eat in a balanced way, to try new foods, to get the nutrition they need.
As a mom and dietitian, I want that too.
But the thing is- we need a different approach.
There’s a way to help them eat well without the battles, the bribing, the negotiating, the “you have to try it” standoffs.
You can help your kid eat well without fighting about food or making them more resistant to it. And I want to show you exactly how.
✨ Comment BALANCED and I’ll send you my free training where I walk through my exact framework for raising healthy, balanced eaters AND protecting their relationship with food.
