311- Why Relationship is Key for Picky Eaters with Dr. Deborah MacNamara, PhDDescription
You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I got to hang out with Dr. Deborah MacNamara. She is a dynamic speaker and best -selling author sought after for her expertise on human development, speaking at the United Nations and Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education. She's the author of Rest, Play, Grow: Making Sense of Preschoolers and Nourished: Connection, Food, and Caring for Our Kids. Deborah is on the faculty at the Neufeld Institute and works alongside Gordon Neufeld to make sense of kids to the adults responsible for them. You might remember when we had Gordon on before and got to hang out and chat with him about connection and relationship and attachment. Dr. Deborah MacNamara's passion is to translate development through science and story, making it transferable to the home, classroom, and everyday experiences. She and I got to chat about why relationship is so key for picky eaters and how food is so much more than nutrients. Honestly, I left this conversation feeling restored and seen and like I was doing enough. You know, those conversations are so life -giving. Remember to stay tuned for the breakdown at the end with Rach where she and I dive into what this looks like in our real lives, taking the science and nerdiness and looking at practical application with a couple of parents in everyday life. Alright folks, let's dive in.
