About this listen
In this episode of Just 4 Moms, Megan, Kallie, and Charlotte tackle one of the most frustrating parenting phases: picky eating. From toddlers who turn their noses up at anything green to kids who love pizza sauce but won’t touch it on pasta, we’ve seen it all. The moms share honest stories of food fails (apple pancakes, anyone?), the stress of restaurant dining with selective eaters, and how their approaches have evolved over time.
They dive into research-backed facts on childhood eating habits, the science behind picky phases (did you know toddlers have more taste buds than adults?), and the importance of repeated exposure and modeling healthy behavior. Registered dietician and mom of two, Adriana Liberatore, joins the conversation to offer expert advice on ditching labels, the value of involving kids in food prep, and tips to gently expand your child's palate.
Plus, don’t miss “Mom Fails,” some hilarious car ride “Would You Rather?” scenarios, and the weekly Pits & Peaks.
Whether you’re deep in the beige food era or celebrating your kid’s first bite of sushi, this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated, and less alone.
