How do we help our kids get the nutrition they need without creating fear, pressure, guilt, or shame around food? In this episode of Self-Schooled, I’m talking with registered dietitian and mom of three Nicole Cruz about raising kids who can trust themselves around food. We talk about: How seemingly harmless food rules can create shame Why kids absorb our relationship with food — even when we never say anything directly The Division of Responsibility: what belongs to parents and what belongs to kids How to make family meals work without cooking a completely different meal for everyone Why pressure often makes picky eating harder The importance of safe foods and repeated, low-pressure exposure What intuitive eating really means for both kids and adults Nicole offers a practical, shame-free way to think about feeding kids — one that supports nutrition and protects their relationship with food. 🎙️ Self-Schooled is for parents questioning how we’re “supposed” to do things — and looking for a way to understand their kids, trust themselves, and find their own path.
