Raising Kids To Trust Themselves Around Food with Nicole Cruz, RD

How do we help our kids get the nutrition they need without creating fear, pressure, guilt, or shame around food? In this episode, I’m talking with registered dietitian and mom of three **Nicole Cruz**, Registered Dietitian, founder of Nourish Together and host of *The Intentional Table* podcast, about what it looks like to raise kids who can trust themselves around food. We talk about: - How well-meaning food rules can unintentionally create shame - Why our own relationship with food matters so much - Ellen Satter’s Division of Responsibility: **parents decide what, when, and where; kids decide if and how much** - How to support picky eaters without becoming a short-order cook - Why safe foods, repeated exposure, and low pressure matter - What intuitive eating actually means — and how we can help kids stay connected to their own hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and body cues ### Go Deeper Learn more about Nicole Cruz + Nourish Together: https://nicolecruzrd.com/ Follow Nicole on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicolecruzrd/ Watch Nicole’s free training on raising an empowered eater: https://nicolecruzrd.easywebinar.live/register ✨ **Grab the free Self-Schooled Parent Toolkit:** https://www.self-schooled.com
