012: It’s not about the broccoli: Dr. Dina Rose
Does your child eat any food under the sun…as long as it’s cheese? Do you find yourself worrying that you’ll never get all the nutrients into her that she needs? Dr. Dina Rose approaches eating from a sociologist’s perspective, which is to say that http://amzn.to/2FmHHSn (It’s Not About The Broccoli) (which also happens to be the name of her book – so that’s an affiliate link), it’s about habits and relationships. Join Dr. Rose as she counsels the parent who struggles with her almost four-year-old “highly spirited” son’s eating habits. There is hope for getting this child to eat something other than cheese, and Dr. Rose walks us through the steps to make it happen. Not to be missed even if your child isn’t (currently) a picky eater: every worm will turn, as they say, and you may find these strategies helpful to head off any pickiness that starts to emerge in the future. And listen up for Dr. Rose’s offer of a free 30 minute coaching session for parents! And I will personally send a free copy of Dr. Rose’s book to the first person who can identify the Monty Python reference in this episode… Rose, D.

We have a pretty special episode lined up today called It’s Not About The Broccoli. Regular listeners might recall the recent episode that we did called Help! My Children Won’t Eat Vegetables where I reviewed the literature on getting children to eat healthy food and one of the books that I read for that episode referenced a book by Dina Rose called It’s Not About The Broccoli, which I didn’t get around to reading until after the episode was published, but I thought the book was so interesting and helpful and it’s also really extensively referenced which all of you regular listeners know, is a primary indicator of how I judge the quality of books. And so I reached out to Dina and asked if she would agree to appear on the show and she’s here with us today. Welcome Dina. Dr. Rose: https://www.temi.com/editor/t/9i8tjSW319fwDjk_fmOE727tCoZ8-QJbA39soDeFz2ri9ZK06L6YBOPagYNdLXKm4t5SDZbQQSOqswQqz_R7zlm7SOQ?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=70.3 ([01:10]) Hi, I’m so glad to be here. Jen: https://www.temi.com/editor/t/9i8tjSW319fwDjk_fmOE727tCoZ8-QJbA39soDeFz2ri9ZK06L6YBOPagYNdLXKm4t5SDZbQQSOqswQqz_R7zlm7SOQ?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=71.98 ([01:11]) Thank you. Let me formally introduce you and give a bit of information about your background. So Dina has a Ph.D In sociology from Duke University and more than 20 years of experience in teaching and research for parents who want to feed their kids right. Dina leverages a unique combination of expertise as a sociologist and as a mother to help parents solve their kids eating problems by focusing on the root of their problem, eating habits, not nutrition. But Dina has also agreed to try something a bit different with us today rather than just having me ask all the questions she gamely offered to provide advice live to a parent who has been struggling with her child’s eating habits. And that parent is here with us today. Welcome J.T. Taylor. J.T.:...
