Food and kids... any questions?

Hey everyone! Hope life is joyous and wonderful. Nick sent me this article and I find it to be spot on from my professional MFT perspective when dealing with food and little ones. It also points out a key symbolic or unconscious communication to children from parents, regarding trust. Allowing children to regulate their own food intake is a part of a more global communication or message we give to kids about our ability to trust them and their own judgements for themselves. It is interesting for me to consider what other relational issues or internal issues or problems kids may be having with parents who dictate or fight with their kids around food. Regardless of further implication, the article is excellent and I highly recommended applying the principles found in the article.
