Show Notes
On today's episode, we delve into the world of toddlerhood and the ever-evolving nature of food preferences.
I share a question that came from Jennifer M., a parent navigating the exciting yet sometimes challenging journey of feeding a 16-month-old.
Jennifer brings forth a common concern: how to address the principles of the Division of Responsibility (DOR) with a child who is just beginning to express their likes and dislikes.
As her little one starts asserting preferences over what is (or isn't) being offered, like requesting crackers and applesauce during dinner, Jennifer seeks guidance on instilling a healthy relationship with food at this crucial developmental stage.
Join us as we explore practical strategies and expert advice on fostering a positive feeding environment for toddlers, where the principles of the Division of Responsibility can lay the foundation for a lifetime of balanced and enjoyable eating habits.
