0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to the Village Voice, parenting beyond discipline,
0:13.0	the place to learn about all things parenting and get your questions answered.
0:18.2	I'm your host, Erin Royer-Az-Ralant.
0:23.3	In today's episode, I'll be sharing some great tools for raising healthy eaters and how to dial down that pickiness. I will answer a couple

1:28.9	literally eating nothing for lunch, and then they would fill up on snacks. She would put the lunch in
1:35.2	front of them, and they would refuse to eat even a single bite. Then literally five minutes later,
