A huge part of our food stories is shaped at a very young age. The words we hear and the language used around food and bodies stick with us well beyond childhood.
As parents, we need to be aware of how we speak to our children about their choices, their behaviors, and their mindset with food. (No pressure!)
But this can also feel like one more thing to worry about getting right when you already feel like there is so much to think about when it comes to parenting our children.
