How to Tell if Your Child is Really Hungry

In this episode, let us delve into the essential topic of recognizing true hunger in your child. Join me as we unpack the difference between physiologic hunger, driven by biological signals like appetite hormones, and “head” hunger, where children may think they're hungry when they're not.
I share a three-step triage system to help you discern if your child's hunger is genuine. This system will empower you to make informed decisions about responding to complaints of hunger. Plus, I give you a key question to ask your child to gauge their hunger accurately.
Tune in for practical strategies to empower your child to eat mindfully and intuitively. Let's navigate the journey of understanding hunger together and set kids on the path to balanced and healthy eating habits.
