Watch this video to find out why we shouldn't reward kids with food. And, find out how our well-intended parenting can be setting up our kids to eat their feelings later in life.
Do you ever eat your feelings? Do you eat when you’re sad or bored? Well, a lot of that is learned in childhood.
We don’t realize some of our well-intentioned parenting techniques can send our children the wrong message about food.
Food, sweets, and candy are amazing motivators for kids! Who hasn't used a food reward at least once? This isn't to villanize and judge anyone's choice.
The goal of the video is just to help parents understand why they might not want to use food rewards often, if at all. Watch the video to see why.
Using food as a reward system can help children associate emotions, happiness with food (if he does his chores he'll get a cookie or gets a good grade at school goes out for ice cream).
Find out how that can potentially lead to weight issues later in life.
