Raising kids who eat a wide variety of food isn't Raising kids who eat a wide variety of food isn't always easy but it's our behaviour which shapes whether our children can make positive food choices and have a healthy relationship with their body. Fussy eaters are incredibly frustrating and it's understandable to give in, to bribe, to reach for other pressure tactics, especially when you're exhausted and struggling to get your child just to eat. If we have some clear alternative approaches and strategies however, this can pivot some of those fussy eating habits quick smart. Here are some little tips which work: ✅ Follow an eating schedule and make sure meal time is about fun and connection. Try not to worry about mess and don't put pressure on your kids to eat certain things at mealtime. ✅ Avoid them filling up on snacks and grazing and drinking too much because this can make food jags worse. It's ok for them to feel hungry and this way they will be more likely to try new foods. ✅ Try to not have any expectations. The minute they sniff out pressure you've lost them. Consider the fact that they are touching, smelling, licking food as a win. ✅ Don't let meal time drag on. Set a time limit otherwise it can really not be fun for anyone. Try a 20 mins time limit and see how you go. ✅ Remember that children's appetites are affected by growth cycles, which can explain the unpredictability of their hunger and interest in food. ✅ Don't bribe with dessert! There are huge downsides to bribing and negotiating. Want more? We share all of our successful fussy eating strategies in The Fussy Eating Bundle with 8 amazing resources + 5 extra bonuses! Special offer ends Friday! ⁠ ⁠ Click the link in my bio to FIND OUT MORE 💫⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #pickyeatingtips #feedingkids #kidsandfood #kidsofinstagram #kidslifestyle #kidsfood #feedingafamily #momsofinstagram #momslife #fussyeaters #fussyeatersolutions #fussyeatingtips #fussyeaters #fussyeating #pickyeater #pickyeating #pickyeaters #raisingintuitiveeaters #pickyeatingtips #pickyeatinghelp #pickyeatingsolutions #pickyeaterproblems #fussyeatingtips #raisinghealthykids #feedingkids #feedingfamilies #endpickyeating #fussyeatingkids #pickyeatingcoach #fussyeatinghelp
#challengeaccepted thanks for nominating me beauti #challengeaccepted thanks for nominating me beautiful friends @lowtoxlife @jo.casamento @maloloatmacs⁠ ⁠ This is a photo from 2005 in a taxi on my way to Couran Cove resort for a little holiday, when my miracle boy was just over a year old. ⁠ ⁠ A time when I was still trying to piece myself and my life together after post natal depression. My journey to motherhood wasn't easy and the most painful period of my life. ⁠ ⁠ From infertility, to a difficult pregnancy, crazy difficult birth, my child going into intensive care straight after he was born, breastfeeding a complete nightmare, an unsettled, irritable child and every belief and every ideal about motherhood shattered in one fatal swoop. ⁠ ⁠ I had lost control of everything I had dreamed of.⁠ ⁠ At the time it was so difficult for anyone beyond my mum and sister (who I would have been lost without) to understand, which I totally get. ⁠ ⁠ But I felt alone. ⁠ ⁠ Even though I could barely drag myself out of bed, somehow I found the strength to try to make sense of what had happened to me, to search for answers, to heal.⁠ ⁠ Which led me to my saviour in the form of an incredible psychiatrist. This amazing woman took me on, helped me end my pain and suffering so that I felt myself again that I could turn up each day to be the mother of my child.⁠ ⁠ I will forever by grateful to her for recognising my quiet determination and strength, and believing in me ❤️⁠ ⁠ #womensupportingwomen⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #womenempowerment #empoweringwomen #inspired #queenssupportingqueens #womenempowerment #beautiful #strong #empowerment #incredible #yourenotalone #healing #healingjourney #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrisings

According to a study from the University of Oxford According to a study from the University of Oxford, women should go out with their girlfriends twice a week 💃🏼 . Because it make us happier and healthier and reports state that women’s overall health and wellbeing is improved when we get together with four best friends twice a week 👏👏 . I'm lucky enough to be in Sydney where we can still do safe catch ups, so today I took some time off work to catch up for a quick lunch with my beautiful friends and boy did I need to chat and unwind after a hectic couple weeks . It really helps to recharge and energise me for the week ahead when my cup is full and I’m a better person, mother and wife as a result . Sometimes we really have to fight the conditioning and socialisation of society which makes us feel guilty for making time for ourselves and understand it's not selfish to say 'yes' to ourselves. Did you know that habitual guilt is higher for women than men? No surprises there really . Here’s to a fab weekend hanging out with good friends, even if has to be online 💖 . . . . . #oxytocin #serotonin #laughter #friendship #women #womenshealth #anxiety #depression #naturalremedies #connection #endorphins #stressrelief #moods #girlsjustwanttohavefun #happiness #wellbeing #laughter #naturalmedicine #hormones #bondinghormones #motherhood #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunplugged #socialbonding #affection #happybrain #happyhormones #neurotransmittersmatter
