In this mini episode I outline;

• Why kids ask if a food is 'good' for them.
• What do we mean by 'good'?
• Why answering 'yes' or 'no' to this question can be problematic.
• How we can respond instead without labelling food.
• Examples of scripts to use when talking about different foods.
• Why it's important to model neutral language about food around our children.
