CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - For many families, the holidays mean lots of time together, lots of gifts, and lots of food.
Sometimes, the amount of food - and type of food - can be overwhelming to children, possibly leading to unhealthy choices or a confused understanding of nutrition.
To help prevent that, Christy Maloney, a registered dietician and eating disorders specialist, chatted with the QC Life team to share some advice with parents.
She described what a healthy relationship with food looks like, how to create dietary consistency, and how children can learn to read what their bodies are telling them about fullness and hunger.
