About this episode

In this episode, Abbie Halberstadt discusses healthy eating tips for kids with guest Katie Kimble, focusing on practical suggestions for parents dealing with picky eaters.

Every week, on Whaddya Wanna Know Wednesday, I get asked for tips for picky eaters, how to get kids in the kitchen (without losing your mind), and teaching kids about healthy eating choices. In this episode, we tackle all of these topics and more with Katie Kimble from Raising Healthy Families. She provides lots of practical suggestions for overwhelmed moms, gives great insight on how to equip kids to take agency for their contributions at home (and in the kitchen, specifically), and helps demystify the struggle to feed kids healthy food. I know every mom who listens to this episode will come away with valuable insights into a topic that has many parents scratching their heads.
