Ep. 64: Jennifer Anderson & Dilshad Bhamgara

Alex and Shane do an eggnog taste test, talk about an awkward interaction with a neighbour, getting into the Christmas spirit, fluffy toilet seat covers, glitter, and have a singing competition.

 

Jennifer Anderson of @kids.eat.in.color discusses, with humour and honesty, baby and toddler nutrition, BLW, the problem with “grazing,” feeding picky eaters, modelling mealtime behaviour, and the magic of Cheerios.

 

@thegentlemamma, Dilshad Bhamgara, is an advocate for gentle parenting. She discusses the problems with punitive consequences, how to maintain chill when you’re losing your patience, avoiding power struggles with your kids, and whether you should tell your kids the truth about Santa Claus.

 

Alex and Shane answer a mailbag of listener questions, including topics about celebrating Christmas in lockdown, celebrity hall passes, divorce, helping toddlers cope with jealousy, and Christmas book suggestions for kids.
