Emotional Eating
As we prepare for creating wonderful memories for the holidays, keep in mind how your family traditions may be interpreted. What are the important values that you want to portray this holiday? Family traditions are often centered around food, and it can be a wonderful way to share with one another. However, many family members may struggle with emotional eating. It can be important to review the messages that children learn from traditions. Preparing family activities that involve healthy eating and spending time together may be what you are wanting in your family and there are many ways to make sure this is at the root of your traditions rather than using traditions as an excuse for overeating.
