Podcast Tackles Children's Disordered Eating with Expert Advice
A new podcast episode, "Little Warriors," tackles the issue of disordered eating in children. Guest expert Cara O’Loughlin, a yoga teacher and life coach, shares insights into helping children develop healthy relationships with food. O’Loughlin emphasizes the importance of intuitive eating and positive self-talk, stating, “Intuitive eating is about teaching your kids their hunger, their fullness, their satisfaction." She advocates for a ‘division of responsibility,’ a concept from dietitian Ellyn Satter, where parents decide what food is offered, and children decide how much they eat. The podcast, sponsored by Lupilu by Lidl, offers practical advice for parents concerned about their children's eating habits. This approach focuses on empowering children to listen to their bodies and make healthy choices, fostering a positive and supportive environment around mealtimes.
