Whatever food fears we've inherited, or learned, will be passed on to our kids unless we understand and challenge our beliefs, according to @the_food_psychologist
As she rightly points out, fear-mongering about killer bars or toxic foods is way more dangerous, long-term, than the food itself.
In tommorrow's Parenting Teenagers Untangled episode, Dr Colton explains in detail why it's way better to prevent our kids developing issues with food than it is to deal with the terrifying results of an eating disorder.
As she says: 'Eating disorders really do kill. Killer bars and their ingredients don’t.'
She wants to help us parents raise a generation that trusts their bodies and enjoys food without guilt, fear or shame.
