Words have power. The words we use when talking about food and eating can help children feel relaxed and comfortable; open to trying new foods and eating a wide variety. Words can also cause harm. Feelings of shame and frustration around food may lead to negative associations and struggles at mealtimes. This session will invite participants to consider the language they use when talking about food with children at meals and other times. We’ll explore the connection between language choices and different outcomes for children, educators, and family members. We’ll learn the concept of food neutrality and discuss how language can support us in creating less stressful mealtimes, connections and equitable and inclusive environments.
