Taming Food Tantrums: Tackling Gluttony in Catholic Parenting

Welcome back! Janelle is back, and today we’re diving into an important lesson from our family’s morning prayer time—addressing the vice of gluttony and its opposing virtue, moderation. As Catholic parents, we strive to teach our kids these spiritual truths using great resources like The Virtues for Catholic Youth from Catholic Sprouts.

We explore how gluttony isn't just about overeating but being controlled by food, which is a growing issue in our culture. From processed foods to the "bliss point," we uncover how modern society has twisted our relationship with eating. But there's hope! We discuss practical ways to mortify our senses and teach moderation, even in small, everyday actions.
