    Episode 31: Picky Eating Without the Pressure: Helping Kids Become Confident Eaters

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I'm joined by Katie Kimball - an educator, mother of four, and founder of Raising Healthy Families. Her work began in 2009 with helping families balance nutrition, time, and budget, but when many parents told her they had never learnt to cook, she turned her focus to teaching children cooking skills. That work has since grown to include online courses, a summer camp, a podcast, and her book, The Picky Eater Playbook. Katie shares with us why picky eating is about much more than taste, how getting children involved in the kitchen can shape the way they approach food, and so much more. In this episode, we explore: How Katie found herself working in the picky eating fieldThe benefit of investing in your child’s eatingKatie’s experience with food while raising her childrenHow all of our senses interact with foodCommon misunderstandings about picky eatingWhy Katie discourages saying “just try one bite”Tips for picky eating and food refusalSimplifying cooking with your kidsKatie’s thoughts on hiding vegetables in foodWhat you can do to help your child today Get to know Katie Check out Katie’s website Follow Katie on Instagram Watch Katie’s TEDx Talk “Picky Eating Isn't About the Food” Buy ‘The Picky Eater Playbook’ and pre-order bonuses here  Want to know more about me?
