Family in Focus®
Are you feeling stuck around your child’s eating, weight, or health? Are food struggles or mixed messages about “doing it right” creating stress in your home? Family in Focus is a podcast for parents navigating family health, especially when concerns about food, body, and emotional well-being start to strain relationships at home. Hosted by Dr. Wendy Schofer, the pediatrician who helps parents lead meaningful change without harm, this podcast approaches family health in a very different way, by prioritizing connection, trust, and emotional health over control or pressure. Family in Focus centers parent-led shifts that actually last. Conversations explore how change can happen without shame, how emotions shape health behaviors, and why protecting the parent-child relationship is essential to supporting children’s well-being. This is a space for parents who want to support their child’s health without sacrificing connection along the way.

Making Peace with Halloween

Welcome to Family in Focus with Wendy Schofer, MD Episode #21!

My love-hate relationship with Halloween has a lot to do with my experience as a pediatrician and the "sugar-gorge-fest," as I saw it. In this episode, I talk about how MISERABLE that made me feel, every year, and what I did to make peace with Halloween. While you may not take the same approach I did, what is possible for you to make peace with Halloween too?
