Hello and Welcome to the Redwood Wellbeing Podcast, where each week I am dedicated to supporting parents on the journey of nurturing their child's healthy relationship with food and their body image.

Through practical, everyday strategies and tips, I help you to become empowered to make a lasting difference in your child's wellbeing journey.

In this episode, I discuss;

What a 'food relationship' means
The problems with food relationships that our society is facing
Why our language matters
Common food language we've inherited
Common misconceptions around children's nutrition and eating habits, particularly around the healthy/unhealthy dichotomy.
The supportive language we can use around our children, to help them know a long term peaceful food relationship.
