Chatting with Cara - The Relationship with Food Podcast7 Marras 2025

Your relationship with your children's food

This week on Chatting with Cara, I’m diving into one of the most eye-opening conversations you can have as a parent, your relationship with your child’s food.

If you’ve ever worried about whether your kids are eating “enough,” felt guilty about giving them “treats” or found yourself saying things like “you can’t have pudding until you eat your veg” then this episode is for you.

In this episode, I cover -

Why are you stuck in the “wild west” of children's nutrition advice?
How your own beliefs and habits around food influence your children more than you realise.
The common phrases and conditions parents use around food and how they shape a child’s relationship with eating.
Why kids are naturally intuitive eaters and what happens as they get older.
How to talk about food without guilt, morality or “good” vs “bad” labels.
Why changing your own relationship with food can help your children keep their healthy, intuitive instincts for life.
The role of emotional eating, and how our reactions can teach children how to manage feelings without turning to food.

I have three questions for you -

What feelings do you have around food for your child?
What phases do you repeat to them?
What conditions do you put on them, if any?

If you want to explore how to improve your own relationship with food so your children can build a healthier one too, come along to my Introduction to Mindful Eating Workshop.
