Is My Child REALLY HUNGRY? | HOW TO RECOGNIZE TRUE HUNGER in Kids

Is your child hungry all the time? How do you know if it’s true hunger or just something else, like boredom?
Today, I’m going to help you recognize true hunger in kids and give you a quick way to figure out what’s really going on.
Because recognizing the difference between true hunger and “head hunger,” or thinking you’re hungry, is an important tool for building your child’s inner awareness of their appetite so they can self-regulate their eating.
But first - if you’ve got a child you have to subscribe to this channel!
I help parents like you figure out the ups and downs of feeding kids and the nuances that can make a difference in whether you’re raising a healthy and happy child - or not.

In this video, I’m differentiating biological hunger, or true hunger, from psychological hunger, or “head hunger,” and giving you a triage system to help you recognize true hunger in the moment and respond appropriately.
You’ll learn about:
