Parents have an inherent need to nurture their children and when our children are not fed, our instincts kick in. We may frantically jump into problem solving mode to fix this issue. Before we had civilizations, the threat of starvation was life and death. However, now we are not in survival mode, and being aware of how we project our anxiety onto our children is crucial. We want to ensure that our children are not using food to control the power dynamic and instead approach feeding issues with balance and empathy.
