Back to School Feeding Challenges with Terri Ney, RD

It's back to school season, and whatever relief we felt to reclaim the routine and structure of school days has probably given way to remember that school weeks are stressful too, particularly when it comes to feeding, school lunches, tired kids, and stressed parents! In today's episode, Canadian dietitian Terri Ney, RD (sounds like "high," not "hay") shares some encouragement and practical tips for parents around school lunches and other common school day feeding challenges. She has lots of specific suggestions for making school days and school lunches easier. We talk about the age old debate around packed lunch vs. school hot lunch, highlighting a privilege many Americans take for granted (Canadians do not currently have a school lunch program, despite lots of advocacy effort). And Katherine and Terri can't help but wander into the subject of food moralizing messages at school, why they aren't great, and what to do when you face this in your own kids' school.

When Things Fall Apart

Hey folks, I’m back from an unplanned hiatus. Today, I share all about giving ourselves grace when life becomes chaotic or difficult. I share my personal experience about letting go of mealtime expectations during a stressful season of life. It’s okay to be flexible and make adjustments. This teaches us (and our children) to trust ourselves during times when things fall apart, and to give ourselves permission to prioritize only the essentials and let the rest go, requiring us to get very clear on what matters most and what matters less.
