Another Mother Runner

#124: Promoting Healthy Eating and Activity in Kids

Sarah and Dimity engage in a conversation with Nancy Sherwood, Ph.D., who specializes in helping parents support healthy eating and activity patterns in kids, as well as promoting healthy body image in children. This mother runner of two reminds us to be patient with our kids: “It’s a waiting game until kids take up healthier strategies.” Nancy answers a bevy of questions culled from Facebook, including how to get kids to eat fewer carbs and more protein and how to teach them balance. The gals all debate how to lead kids to activity without pushing too hard.
