Your Kids Aren't In Charge of the Grocery Cart: What We're Teaching our Children About Food

In this episode of Worth the Weight, Courtney is talking directly to parents about the role we play in shaping our children’s relationship with food. If you’re working hard to change your own eating habits, lose weight, or improve your health, there’s an important question to consider: What habits are your children learning from the environment you’re creating at home? Courtney discusses picky eating, processed foods, sugary drinks, using food as a reward, family meals, body image, and why teaching children healthy habits does not mean putting them on diets or making them afraid of certain foods. It means creating an environment where nutritious food is normal, treats can still be enjoyed, and health is talked about without shame. This episode also challenges parents to recognize that our children are watching more than what we put on their plates—they’re watching how we eat, how we talk about our bodies, and how we treat food ourselves. Courtney leaves parents with one question: If your child ate according to the environment you’ve created for the next 15 years, would you be happy with the habits they developed? Because you’re not just deciding what’s for dinner tonight. You’re helping determine what gets passed down.
