Meet Jennifer Berry
Jenny is one of our go-to experts for feeding kids and she can be found through her site Thrive with Spectrum. We talked to her from her second home in Italy (she’s so lucky!) and she helped to shed light on:
- Why don’t kids eat dinner.
- Whether or not it’s normal for kids to refuse foods.
- How our assumptions about the “right” portion sizes can get in the way of whether we think our kids are eating well.
- What to do if a child doesn’t eat dinner, but asks for a snack right after.
- How distractions and the set up of meals can impact how kids eat.
- How to know if a child is eating enough.
It’s such a great conversation that we hope you’ll listen!
