I am a better person, a better parent, every single time I listen to Amy McCready's coaching.
There's a good reason she is a TODAY Show parenting expert, my goodness - the way she explains why consequences aren't the answer, how rewards set our kids up for massive problems (blew my mind!!) and gives us practical toolbox phrases we can just start using today, it's truly enriching.
Even if you've heard Amy speak before, I worked hard to ask new questions that definitely made me think!

Chicken nuggets.
Pizza.
Burgers and fries.
Mac and cheese.
What do all those foods have in common?
They're identified as "kid food" by children and adults alike.
What else? They're often served in a highly processed, low-nutrient fashion, and I don't see many veggies on the list.
My guest today, Bettina Elias Siegel, has been an advocate for school food reform for over 10 years, and her first book Kid Food broadens that mission by pushing for societal change in all the places people feed our kids, market "food" to them, and set our standards of what kids will eat.
If you believe the bar should be raised for kids wayyyyyy beyond and beige and bland, you're in the right place today.
We dig into some of the more surprising facts Bettina uncovered while researching for Kid Food, such as:
