Bar Aizik Consultation call Stop trying to “motivate” your child to eat better… try this instead! If your child doesn’t want to change their eating habits, showing them transformation photos or videos won’t help. And if they’re like most kids…They shut down.They rolled their eyes.Or they smiled politely… and reached for another snack. It’s not because they’re unmotivated.It’s because that kind of motivation doesn’t work on kids. Think back to how your child started going to school. You didn’t wake up one day and

Bar Aizik Consultation call If weight loss = praise… what happens when it goes the other way? Let’s talk about something that might seem harmless… but can have a big impact. Your child steps on the scale.The number goes down.You smile. Maybe say, “Wow, amazing!”Or maybe you don’t say anything, but your body language says it all. Now pause for a second.What happens next time when the number goes up?Or doesn’t change at all? Even if you stay quiet, your child notices.The energy

Bar Aizik Consultation call Summer doesn’t need to mean all-day snacking… Let’s talk about the snack chaos that kicks in the second school’s out. You feed them breakfast…20 minutes later: “I’m hungry. ”Then again. And again. By lunch, it feels like they’ve eaten all day, and somehow still want more. You’re not alone. This comes up with so many parents I work with, and honestly, it makes sense. During the school year, meals and snacks happen at the same time, every day. There’s

Bar Aizik Consultation call The food guilt we didn’t mean to pass on… Let’s talk about something that slips out of our mouths more often than we realize, and how it quietly shapes the way our kids see food. You’re at the table, finishing dinner, and you casually say: “Ugh, I was so bad today, I had two cookies. ”Or maybe: “I shouldn’t be eating this after what I had for lunch.”Or even:“I’m skipping dinner… I already overdid it earlier.”

Bar Aizik Consultation call Before you give up on changing your kids eating habits If your child constantly asks for snacks…Eats fast and always wants seconds…Craves sweets all day…Or gets upset anytime you say “not right now”… It can feel overwhelming. Like something must be fixed right now. Like if you don’t act fast, it’ll just get worse. But here’s the truth I remind so many parents of: These habits didn’t start yesterday. They were shaped over time, by everyday moments, by

Bar Aizik Consultation call When food becomes a reward Let’s be honest…It starts off so innocently.You want to motivate your child.Get them through a hard moment.Help them feel celebrated, seen, or soothed. So you say something like:“If you clean up, we’ll get ice cream.”“If you behave at the dentist, I’ll get you a treat.”“You had a hard day? Let’s grab something sweet.” And it works.In the moment, it works.But what message does it leave behind? Because here’s what I’ve seen again and again,

Bar Aizik Consultation call When you say “no more snacks,” what does your child actually hear? You might be thinking:I’m setting a boundary.I’m helping them eat better.I’m just doing what’s healthy. But for your child, those words can land very differently. Depending on your tone, the timing, and how often it happens, your child may hear:“You don’t trust me. I’m not allowed to want more. Needing food is bad. If I want this again, I’ll have to sneak it…” And

Bar Aizik Consultation call Carbs aren’t the enemy and your child should be eating them!!! I just came across a wave of misleading comments telling parents to cut out carbs, avoid sugar at all costs, and treat anything “not clean” as toxic.Let’s be clear: Carbs are not toxic. Sugar is not poison. And there’s no magical diet… not even keto.Keto and other restrictive plans can lead to short term weight loss… but not because they’re magical. They work because they

Bar Aizik Consultation call If your child can’t stop thinking about treats… this might be why You say yes to a cookie… and they ask for another. You say “Not now” to a treat… and they can’t focus on anything else. You hide the sweets… and somehow, they still find them.Sound familiar? Here’s the thing:  It’s not because your child is obsessed with sugar.  It’s not because they have no self-control. And it’s not because you’ve “failed” as a parent.

Bar Aizik Consultation call Before you say ‘eat less’ — read this “Just eat a little less.”But… less than what? Most parents trying to manage overeating or big appetites fall into the portion trap, not because they’re doing something wrong, but because no one ever really taught us what a healthy portion for a child looks like.So we guess.
