Rachel took part in BBC Radio 4’s You and Yours child obesity phone-in last week, ‘ – commenting on some of the challenges that families talked about when trying to do the best for their children amidst today’s complex soup of conflicting advice, media pressure and commercial influence.
‘It was great to have the opportunity to explain some of the strong behavioural approaches that can help families develop confidence in eating a balanced diet and take part in enjoyable physical activity. The themes callers talked about were things I commonly see in practice and which many families struggle with. Finding ways to combat the unhealthy ‘norms’ that have now seeded in many people’s minds is one of our biggest challenges.’
