You made a meal the whole family would eat. So you thought. You even put something on the table you know your kid likes. And they take one look and say, "Gross, I'm not eating that."

It's so frustrating, especially when you're really trying. And it's so easy to end up saying "just try one bite" or giving your partner the side eye across the table.

But instead, I want to give you one simple thing to do in that moment.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What to do in the moment when your kid refuses the meal you worked hard on
• How to respond when your kid is excited they ate their vegetables
• Why our reactions, even the shrug and the sigh, can feel like pressure to kids
• Why praise can backfire too, and what to say instead
• A fun challenge for your next meal

If you've ever caught yourself watching every bite your kid takes, this episode will give you something else to do with your attention.
