NW Pediatric & Family Nutrition

We are a team of weight inclusive, non-diet dietitians supporting intuitive eating, eating disorder recovery, and helping parents raise children with a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. NW Pediatric & Family Nutrition is Promoting a Healthy Relationship with Food and Body Image.
As your child undergoes these physical changes, it’s important to foster a positive relationship with food and body image. Normalize the changes in weight and body composition as natural and healthy parts of growing up. Avoid emphasizing weight loss or appearance, as this can lead to unhealthy eating habits or body dissatisfaction.

Encourage family meals and involve your child in meal planning and preparation. This not only helps in providing nutritious meals but also strengthens family bonds and promotes positive attitudes toward food. Support them in understanding that food is fuel for their bodies and focus on how it helps them feel good and stay healthy.
