About this listen

 Were you ever told 'you can't have dessert until you eat all your vegetables?' Or to 'be grateful for your meal'? Or perhaps you yourself have said 'Mummy's on a diet so she can't eat that' or 'Daddy is fat, you don't want to be like me'. We may not realise, but we are constantly communicating our thoughts on food to our children.

As we navigate picky eating and high emotions at mealtimes as well as puberty, diet culture, body image and eating disorders - now more than ever, we need to change the way we communicate about food to our children and ourselves. So how do we help children develop and nurture a healthy relationship with food?

Clinical psychologist and eating disorder specialist Dr Anna Colton guides you through a judgement- and shame-free journey from pregnancy to a child's adolescence with accessible scientific and psychological understandings. She shows you how you've formed your relationship with food and gives you the practical, evidence-based tools to instil in children a positive relationship with eating.

How to Talk to Children About Food will help you to:

· Learn the developmental stages of eating and gain the tools to support children through the ages
· Navigate and manage complex food feelings without anxiety, anger or distress
· Identify eating disorder behaviours and know when to intervene
· Break negative eating cycles and patterns
· Build a positive relationship between food and your child/teen's body
· Have calm, happy and fuss-free mealtimes for everyone.
