Hi Parents! In this episode, I’m joined by Registered Dietitian Lee Cotton, author and mindful eating expert, to discuss how parents can help their teens build a healthy relationship with food and foster positive body image. Lee shares practical strategies for creating a home environment where conversations about food, nutrition, and body image are approached with mindfulness, care, and positivity, helping teens feel supported rather than judged. We explore how subtle messages at the dinner table - what you say and how we you it - can shape a teen’s thoughts and behaviours around food and their bodies. Lee helps parents recognize early signs that a teen may be struggling with anxious or disordered eating and offers guidance on how to respond in ways that promote trust, self-awareness, and a balanced approach to nutrition. Whether your teen experiences anxiety around food or you simply want to create a mindful, supportive home environment, this episode is full of actionable advice and insights parents can start using today. 📚 A Nourishing Perspective Big hugs, Monica Crnogorac Next Steps Book a Free Discovery Call Visit My Website for More Information on My 8-Week Program Connect With Me on Instagram
