Anna Lutz and Elizabeth Davenport chat with Amee Severson, co-author of How to Raise an Intuitive Eater, about how a dearth of safe, inclusive resources for people raising children was one of the main inspirations for the book. Amee emphasizes how the conversations we have with kids about body image and food are less impactful than what they learn from watching the way we interact with food.

We discuss:

  • How perfection with parenting doesn’t exist.
  • The importance of modeling positive behaviors, but also ensuring that children know it’s ok to fail.
  • The importance of creating space for learning and growing.
  • Advice for parents who want to give up the diet mentality but have a lot of unlearning to do.
  • The importance of having a structured yet flexible eating schedule for kids.
  • Things parents can start doing right away to help support their kids as intuitive eaters.
