Show Notes
This episode explores the common challenges of feeding children —and adults—who seem stuck in repetitive food patterns or resistant to trying new things. From kids in food jags who only want the same food day after day to adults cycling through the same three meals out of habit or burnout, we unpack the behavioral and sensory reasons behind food monotony and how to gently guide more variety.
Listeners will learn strategies to raise more adventurous eaters, reduce mealtime battles, and reignite creativity in the kitchen. The episode offers practical tools for introducing new foods without pressure, ways to add novelty to familiar meals, and how to shift the mindset around feeding to support nourishment, flexibility, and joy for the whole family.
