Mealtimes with Dr Kyla

Welcome to my very first interview episode! I’m chatting to Toddler Development Specialist and my colleague and very good friend, Mandy from Raise Toddlers. We explore her own childhood memories around food and mealtimes before we deep dive into feeding children, confidence assurance parenting, and what these look like when used together.

Listen in to discover:

• How Mandy and Dr Kyla connected
• Mandy’s childhood mealtime experiences and memories
• What family mealtimes in Mandy’s household look like
