Listen "84. Holidays Bringing Unsolicited Advice About Your Child’s Eating Habits? How to Craft an Appropriate One Liner Revealed@"
Episode Synopsis
Did someone comment on your kid's weight, how they ate (or didn't), or the way your family approached feeding over Thanksgiving?
Unfortunately, this is a common time of year to feel stressed about facing awkward situations with friends and family around the topic of your child's diet, weight, and eating habits.
If you have a picky eater or a child that is visibly anything above or below the 50th percentile (which, not to worry, is NORMAL!), then you (and your child) may be particularly subjected to these kinds of comments.
So how do we respond appropriately without reacting in our rightful annoyance? It is natural to feel defensive, and yet like many areas of parenting, some people really aren't open to a conversation; their comments are simply there to take and do what you wish with.
That's why, in this episode, we are talking about the three components to a healthy response to unhelpful comments that come in. We will address how you can advocate for your child, stand behind your feeding approach, and outsource to an expert when more back up is needed and/or requested.
