S10|15 - Nourished with Dr. Deborah Macnamara

Feeding our kids has much more to do with relationship and connection- than it does with actual food. Connected and supportive family meals can be super simple, but lead to deep relationships, higher literacy and better digestion. 

Tune into our conversation on the podcast today, as I interview Dr. Deborah Macnamara, a Developmentalist and founder of Kid's Best Bet Counselling who makes sense of kids for the adults responsible for raising them.   She "translates developmental science into practical love” according to Gabor Maté, through her work as a counselor, author, teacher, and researcher.

In this episode: 

• How feeding kids (and fussy eating) is so much more than just food
• The best non-food food book ever written: Nourished
• The surprising bits of food research that Dr Macnamara discovered as she dealt with her own picky eaters, and how it impacts relationships 
• The 3 ingredients you want to include in your meals (hint: none of them are food) 
• How to care for and connect with your kids through nourishing them
