About this episode

Grace Sanders discusses transforming family mealtimes into positive experiences through intuitive eating principles.

Join Fox Hill alum Grace Sanders, a clinical dietitian, as she explains how to transform stressful family mealtimes into positive experiences. Learn about the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide the food and kids choose how much to eat. Discover why the “Clean Plate Club” is a thing of the past, how to use neutral language for all foods, and how to involve children in meal prep to build healthy lifelong habits. Meet Our Guest: Grace Sanders, MS, RDN, LDN, is a Clinical Dietitian at Newton-Wellesley Hospital and Nourish. Tip: "Give yourself grace; little mindset shifts and trusting your child’s intuition will pay off over time". Top Takeaways Division of Responsibility: Parents decide the menu/timing; children decide how much they actually eat. Avoid labeling foods as "good" or "bad" to help children develop a neutral relationship. Involve children in meal prep and sensory play to increase their interest in new foods.
