Here's Why You Don't Need to Be Teaching Kids About Nutrition

Teaching kids about nutrition and health can seem like a good idea in theory.

While nutrition facts are often shared with our kids with good intention, there’s the potential for causing more harm than good.

Diet culture often purports that in order to raise a healthy child, we need to inundate them with health concepts, which can become food rules that undermine their innate intuitive eating abilities.

You can challenge this notion about health that is often passed through generations to build a trusting feeding relationship with your child and to move from fear to freedom around food as a family.

Tune in to today’s episode, where Crystal will break down 5 main reasons why it isn’t necessary to teach kids about nutrition in order to support them in building a healthy relationship with food.
