Emotional Eating: Francie Healey Discusses How to handle Overeating in Children
Hey everyone! In today’s episode of the Reading with Your Kids Podcast, we are taking a step back from discussing books and authors to talk about an extremely important topic i.e Emotional Eating in Children.
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of to satisfy hunger. We’ve all been there, finishing a whole bag of chips out of boredom while cramming for a big test. But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.
We consider ourselves lucky to be joined by Francie Healey, a mental health counselor and the author of Eat to Beat Alzheimer’s to talk about Emotional Eating in children and it’s effects, How to spot an emotional eater, What’s the problem with being an emotional eater and some healthy coping strategies to help your child. Be sure to tune in to find out secrets to end Emotional Eating once & for all!
