How to Talk To Your Kids About Food

Are you already teaching your kids about food? Whether or not you realize it — yes, you are.

Every meal, every snack, every habit they see you model is a lesson. The question is whether it's the lesson you want to pass on.

In this episode, Coach Chris Cooper walks through four simple principles every kid should understand about food and nutrition — the things the Canada Food Guide won't teach them, but that your parents or grandparents probably lived without even thinking about it. You'll also learn why the fear of "creating an eating disorder" is holding too many parents back from having the most important health conversation of their child's life.

What you'll take away:

1. Why sugar — not lack of exercise — is driving childhood weight issues
2. The caffeine conversation your teenager needs to hear
3. How to build a protein-first plate habit before the teen years
4. Why eating before bed matters more than most people think
