These statistics about our kids' relationship with food and their bodies are heartbreaking, and led Beka and Leah to talk about food and how to use different tools to promote healthy relationships with food, body autonomy, and interoception. 

It's important that we don't use food to motivate, reward, or soothe our kids, so those messages don't get hard wired as they enter adolescence and adulthood. 

It's also important that we build our kids' interoception, which includes:

• Letting them eat when they're hungry
• Letting them stop eating when they're full
• Teaching them to notice how their body feels when they eat different foods

This episode also walks through ways to promote healthy messages and relationships with food, such as:

• Food is not good or bad
• We don't talk about other people's bodies
• Don't comment on what/how much kids eat
• Let natural consequences happen to teach healthy habits
