Episode 30: Exploring Food & Self-Regulated Eating with Danni Willow
In this week's episode I have the pleasure of welcoming back Danni Willow, a fellow Aware Parenting Instructor, parent educator, mother and women's circle facilitator, creator of The Way of the Woman and a Mum of 2.
Danni and I share with you all about having a healthy connection with food, and how to implement self-regulated eating for the whole family.
We also discuss:
- what self-regulated eating is
- exploring our own stories around food and eating
- trusting our children
- incorporating play into mealtimes
- connecting with the process of where our food comes from, growing gardens with our children and meeting our own body's individual nutrition requirments
- tips to overcome mealtime struggles
- developmentally appropriate eating
- plus so so much more
