You know, we're. We're creating labels for foods. We're calling them good versus bad, or, you know, I have to eat this yucky broccoli to get to that really good cookie. Right. We're creating labels there. And, you know, like you said, a lot of us or adults in this generation just have poor relationships with food because they were told they had to finish everything on their plate. They were punished for no dessert. If you can't do this, you know, finish your homework and those types of things. And. And food has been very tied to reward. And I think that is something that especially. I mean, we do this in our household, but I try to teach with my clients, too. Pull that out, stop doing that, and really disconnect that. And instead, I like to insert curiosity. Right. So not food is good or bad. Right. But, oh, is that food crunchy or is it soft? Or, like, how many of those, you know, carrot coins can you stack up on top of each other before they fall over? And teaching them how to. To be exploratory with food, instead of labeling.
