Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 183: Jess Sherman on Nutrition For Our Child's Brain, Mood, Behavior, and Better Overall Health · 10 Nov 2019 podcast

And that requires a little bit of, you know, understanding of nutrients and different foods that they may not have used before, which I would, you know, also acknowledge is something that we just don't learn as parents.

You know, you never learn how to use this tool, and yet it's so important.

So little things as examples would be like putting some more fiber in the cheese sauce for the macaroni and cheese, for example, like putting in some psyllium husk or putting in some mashed sweet potato or cauliflower blends really nicely into that.

And it's just sort of random example.

But I know a lot of kids really like macaroni and cheese.

So, you know, you can take something that's familiar to them and look at it and say, OK, how can we make this a little bit more nutritionally dense?

by adding to it without shifting it.

And of course you have really super picky eaters and we can talk about that if you want to.

But that's where I would say would be the focus to say instead of instinctively going to the food restriction piece first, let's go to the nourishment piece first.

And sometimes it doesn't even start with what you're eating.

Sometimes it starts with how you're eating.

Can you guys, can the family sit together

And a lot of families don't sit together for family meals, even once a week, twice a week.

Nourishment also has to do with getting them sleeping better, you know, connecting with them, snuggling with them.

That's all nourishment too.

So when you think of food in this broader context as one of the tools that we use to nourish our kids, I think it kind of opens things up a little.

I think it's a starting point.

I remember when that book came back out as well and there was a big backlash against it because people were upset with the idea of having to sneak things into their kids.

So there was these two camps.

And I have nothing wrong with sneaking stuff in.
