Were you ever told 'you can't have dessert until you eat all your vegetables?' Or to 'be grateful for your meal'? Or perhaps you yourself have said 'Mummy's on a diet so she can't eat that' or 'Daddy is fat, you don't want to be like him'. We may not realise, but we are constantly communicating our thoughts on food to our children. As we continue to navigate complex mealtimes, picky eating, emotions and tantrums as well as puberty, diet culture, body image and eating disorders - now more than ever, we need to change the way we communicate about food to our children and ourselves.
