  • In this episode of The Easy Feed Podcast, I discuss the importance of having a simple approach to feeding kids - focusing on small steps, small wins.

    I’m diving into how you can find clarity and confidence by focusing on one small goal at a time. We explore the power of tiny, consistent actions and how they can lead to big wins at the family dinner table. Here’s a taste of what we’ll cover:

    1. One Step at a Time: By focusing on just one simple goal, we can eliminate overwhelm and build positive momentum. It’s about letting go of the “perfect” approach and realising that small wins add up over time.

    2. Fibre First: We’ll discuss easy ways to boost fibre in your child’s diet. Increasing fibre can support gut and immune health, giving your child a strong foundation for overall wellness.

    3. Positive Mealtime Vibes: Creating a calm, pressure-free mealtime environment helps children feel safe to explore new foods without stress. I’ll share how small adjustments in our approach can improve the entire family’s dining experience.

    4. Making Peace with Simple Dinners: Sometimes, a meal of eggs on toast can be as nourishing as a more elaborate dinner. We’ll talk about how to lower expectations and embrace these simpler options without guilt.

    5. Clearing the Confusion: It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice on feeding kids, but choosing just one or two reliable sources can provide clarity. I’ll explain how this approach can bring peace of mind and reduce the stress of sifting through endless opinions.

    Let’s keep it simple and build healthy habits together—one meal at a time!
