Let's finally end the food battles
A Live Conversation For Parents Who Are Exhausted By How It Feels Around the Table
Hosted by Dr. Wendy Schofer, MD, Pediatrician & Founder of Family in Focus® Join us for a supportive, judgment-free hour. Come as you are. Ask your questions. Leave with answers that work for you & your family.
Register for the 1 hour LIVE Parents-Only Conversation and Ask Dr. Wendy Your Questions About Family Eating Habits, Weight & How to Help Without Harm
Conversation for education purposes only. Not medical advice.
You've tried everything to feed and grow a healthy family, and it's still not working.
Maybe you’ve read all the books. You've bookmarked every "top 10 tips" article and stayed up deep into the night scrolling parenting forums, only to be more exhausted and crabby the next morning.
You've tried the plate-shapes, the "just one treat," the "never say 'bad food'" rules.
And still...
dinner feels like a battlefield.
Not because you don’t care. You care so much it hurts.
It's just that you're tired. And overwhelmed. And stuck.
This isn't a lecture. It isn't another checklist titled "Perfect Parenting 101."
This is a start. A conversation, like the ones you wish you could have at 2am when you're searching "How can I sneak veggies without my kid gagging?"
Real stories. Real messes. Real households.
Because what you have at your table is real.
You don't need another set of feeding tips that feel like fiction. You need someone to ask about your specific situation and how all the books and guidance actually apply to
your real life.
Your real family.
It's time to talk to an expert.
Hi, I'm Dr. Wendy
I’m doing something completely out of the box.
Taking off the white coat. The stethoscope. The clinical approach.
And inviting you into a real, no-judgment conversation about what’s actually happening in your home.
Because I've seen time and again how these conversations are the most transformative for parents creating changes in eating habits, relationships and the emotional environment at home.
On Sundays, I’m hosting live conversations where we get to talk — parent to parent, human to human — about the stuff that’s been keeping you up at night.
I'll bring my expertise (double-board certified pediatrician & lifestyle physician, military physician x 20 years), my humor and - my realness.
No slides. No prescriptions. No replays.
Maybe You're Thinking...
Each week is an open forum for parents just like you to come and ask their questions. Here are some questions parents have asked in the past:
- "My child is a 17 month old and refusing all the healthy foods, preferring to eat Saltines instead."
- "My 7 year old is so picky, just like her father and I really want her to be an adventurous eater like me."
- "I'm too exhausted to make one more “balanced meal".”
- "Why does my 4-year old refuse all the healthy foods, but beg for candy as soon as he leaves the table?"
- "One kid barely eats, another devours everything. How is this supposed to work?"
- "My son is taking after his father, working out all the time, counting macros and calories. I'm worried."
- "My 16 year old daughter wants to lose weight, but I keep finding candy wrappers in her nightstand."
- "I don't think I can be a model for my kids' eating habits. I have struggled with weight my whole life."
- "My kids are addicted to electronics and it's so hard to change."
No hypotheticals. Just what’s happening in kitchens, cars, and homes right now.
In this parents-only call, you’ll get:
- Someone who wants to know your kitchen, your chaos: the realness
- Understanding about what’s actually going on beneath food battles
- New ways to talk, even when you feel stuck between caring and controlling
- A community of parents who know what "messy kids, messy emotions, messy food" really means.
- Hope. Relief. Real, immediate, you-can-feel-it relief

This is for you if:
✅ You walk in the door and feel the tension before anyone says a word.
✅ You’re tired of worrying about weight - yours or your child's - every time you open the pantry.
✅ Mealtimes feel like a battleground more than a welcome rhythm.
✅ You want your kids to feel safe around food, not afraid, not ashamed.
✅ You're done with perfection, plans, pressure. You just want ease.
✅ You want home to feel calm. Not chaotic.
If this sounds like your house, this little room on Sunday is for you.
Finally break the cycle once and for all.
I’m Dr Wendy Schofer, MD. Pediatrician. Trauma-informed. Relationship-focused. Eating disorder prevention specialist.
And I don’t fix kids.
I help parents.
I help you move forward without all the stress, anxiety and worry about repeating cycles of shame and control with food and body.
You've learned how controlling food or forcing "good habits" didn't heal the problem. In fact, it often makes it worse: shame, guilt, sneaking, fear, isolation and food fights.
And the cycle keeps repeating: the cycle of shame that we grew up with.
I help parents heal their own relationship with food and body so they can raise kids who never have to recover from their childhood.
Because parents create the environment where change grows: healing, safe relationships with food, emotions, body, family.
