The Messy Intersection explores the tangled-up place where a generation of parents seeks to raise body-confident intuitive eaters while simultaneously undoing decades of their own diet culture learnings. Guests share stories and insight about about feeding kids, feeding ourselves, intuitive eating, stress, anxiety, the mental load and raising kids with the resilience to defy diet culture and develop a healthy relationship with food. Hosted by registered dietitian Diana Rice, RD of @anti.diet.kids.

Navigating Your Child's Feeding Difficulties with Jennifer McGurk
Monday Jan 04, 2021
Monday Jan 04, 2021
In this episode of The Messy Intersection, my guest Jennifer McGurk shares her personal story of realizing that her oldest son was a very selective eater.
Having recovered from an eating disorder early in her life herself, Jennifer now works as a dietitian to help clients "feel fabulous about food" and wants the same for her own family.
Jennifer discusses not only the process of realizing that her son struggled with food but also the impact that navigating this challenge had on her experience as a mother.
Together, Jennifer and Diana discuss the signs to look for if you suspect that your child may also be experiencing feeding difficulties and how to get started seeking professional help.
