3 Food Rules We're Breaking on Purpose to Raise Healthy Eaters
We grew up with food being labeled “good” or “bad.” With sweets treated like gold and guilt baked into every bite. With pressure to finish our plates and shame if we didn’t. We’re breaking that cycle. In this episode, we’re sharing 3 powerful ways we’re helping our kids build a healthy, shame-free relationship with food and their bodies:Why we don’t hype up sweets (no food gets put on a pedestal)Why we never force bites or make them earn dessertWhy we don’t call any food “bad,” not even packaged snacksThis isn’t about raising perfect eaters. It’s about raising kids who trust their bodies, enjoy food, and feel good around the table—for life.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Real talk? Modern parenting is a doozy. There’s never been more pressure to be perfect with social media readily at our fingertips - mixed with total isolation and no help. Where the f*ck is that village everyone talks about? Consider After Bedtime your village. Led by Kristin and Deena - founders of the largest online parenting community, Big Little Feelings - After Bedtime is the place you can go at the end of a long hard day to find your “enough”-ness. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll maybe pee our pants a little as we unpack things we’re ALL experiencing but too ashamed to talk about: imperfect marriages, miscarriages, managing toddler mania, apologizing to our kids and everything in between. You’ll leave with actionable, realistic tips to make this whole parenting thing smoother - small changes, big impact. In an age where parents need more *real* connection than ever, let’s talk honestly about the hard - and remind ourselves we are not alone, we are not failing. In fact, we’re f*cking crushing it.
