I used to think saying “just one more bite” was helpful.
Like I was encouraging my kids to eat enough, try something new, or doing what’s best for them.
But what I started noticing was more tension… not more trust.
That phrase ultimately teaches us to override our body cues, to eat for approval instead of awareness.
So I stopped saying it.
Now I remind my kids (and myself) that their bodies get a say too.
This isn’t about letting everything go or getting it “right.”
It’s about making food feel a little safer, one meal at a time.
If this made you pause, save it.
And if you know a parent who would appreciate this reminder, send it their way 🤍
