Hello and Welcome to the Redwood Wellbeing Podcast, where each week I am dedicated to supporting parents on the journey of nurturing their child's healthy relationship with food and their body image.

Through practical, everyday strategies and tips, I help you to become empowered to make a lasting difference in your child's wellbeing journey.

In today's episode, I talk about;

• What emotional eating means and why it's not all bad
• Examples of emotional eating on both ends of the continuum
• Why it's important to have a healthy emotional connection to food
• How to support your child's emotional connection to food through -

1. Meeting their emotional needs
2. Avoiding using food to regulate your emotional child
3. Avoid using food to reward/punish or manipulate
4. Helping them to create a toolkit of coping strategies during emotional distress
