In this episode of The Anti Diet Life, host Leah Hortin is joined by Maru Rojas, an Aware Parenting Instructor focusing on deconditioning and decolonizing our approach to child-rearing, diet culture, and beyond, drawing from her experience with her own two young children.
They explore the concept of self-regulated eating, contrasting it with conventional methods, and discuss the roles and responsibilities of both parents and children in this approach. Maru addresses common parental concerns such as children craving sweets, eating too frequently, and lacking nutrition, offering practical advice for navigating these issues. She emphasizes the importance of parents examining their own relationships with food to foster a positive eating environment for their children. The episode also covers strategies for handling toddlers' aversion to vegetables, the impact of modeling healthy food behaviors, and the effectiveness of the "just try one bite" approach. Maru provides actionable tips for creating an adventurous eating environment and managing external influences, along with resources for those interested in Aware Parenting.
