🍽️ What About the Parents? 💛

Feeding kids can be one of the most emotional parts of family life. When feeding gets tricky, the focus is usually on them — their eating, growth, or preferences — but what about you?
Feeding challenges can deeply impact parents too — your relationship with food, your partner, and your child. That’s why this month, we’re focusing on helping parents and caregivers keep food enjoyment alive, even when mealtimes feel hard.

Remember those meals you loved before kids? The ones that made you happy just by smelling them? Maybe it’s time to bring one back — even a quicker, simpler version. Your kids learn so much from seeing you enjoy food. They can feel your joy, no words needed.

🌶️ Love spicy food? Add the chilli at the end.

💚 Craving your favourite veggie? Cook a little extra for one.

Because here’s the truth — food enjoyment matters. When you feel nourished and content, feeding your family becomes calmer and more connected.

You don’t have to give up what you love. Honouring your own food needs is just as important as honouring your child’s.

As you know, KDF is ceasing clinical services tomorrow (19th Dec, 2025) but Deb is continuing to support parents and children through her workshops, education and training in the early childhood education sector. If you would love Deb to run a workshop for your childcare or school community head to the Contact Us page on our website.

Introducing Ines' NEW Dietetic business!!

Ines has been an invaluable part of the Kids Dig Food team since 2018. In fact, she was the first Dietitian to join Deb in clinical practice under the Kids Dig Food banner! Ines is a highly experienced Dietitian with a family-based approach.

She is also highly experienced in working with neurodiversity and has a special interest in developmental conditions which may present feeding differences or challenges, such as Autism, ADHD and sensory processing differences.

Her new business: Curious Kids Dietitian offers kids and families specialised nutrition care, where together, you'll celebrate differences, honour autonomy and build trust.

Ines believes your child's relationship with food and their body matters deeply.

Whether your child is neurodivergent, is nourished via a feeding tube, has sensory differences, is navigating food allergies, or is a young athlete, you'll find compassionate expertise and genuine partnership with Ines.
You can email Ines at hello@curiouskidsdietitian.com or head to her website: https://postly.click/aNe (which will be live very soon)

Ines, you are such an incredibly insightful Paediatric Dietitian. Your intuition, compassion and deep understanding of neurodivergence helps you meet families and children where they are at with feeding and eating. I have valued your wisdom so much over the years, and I know that working alongside you has made me a better Dietitian. I can't wait to see Curious Kids Dietitian go from strength to strength.

🌱 What’s Getting in the Way of Kids Doing Their Best Eating?

Feeding kids isn’t always easy — even when we’re doing all the right things. Many families we support describe mealtimes as unpredictable, frustrating, or stressful. The truth is, there are often real reasons behind tricky eating.

Things like pressure at mealtimes, oral motor skill delays, constipation, food anxiety, or medication (especially ADHD treatments) can all make eating harder for kids. These aren’t just “fussy” behaviours — they’re signals that something’s getting in the way.

At Kids Dig Food, we’re passionate about helping families uncover what’s interfering so children can do their best eating. When we understand the full picture, we can reduce pressure, build trust, and create a more comfortable relationship with food — for everyone at the table.

✨ When the interferences are understood, parents feel calmer, kids feel safer, and eating starts to feel easier.

To read more about this topic head to our blog: What’s Getting in the Way? Common Interferences to Kids Doing Their Best Eating at https://postly.click/Wtt

As you know, KDF is ceasing clinical services on 19th Dec but Deb is continuing to support parents and children through her workshops, education and training in the early childhood education sector. If you would love Deb to run a workshop for your childcare or school community head to the Contact Us page on our website.

12/11/2025

🧡 You might have seen an announcement on our social media this morning about some changes to Kids Dig Food services.

If you haven't seen that one yet, feel free to jump to that post or the Transition page on our website to check it out.

So, what is the change?

After 19 December 2025, Kids Dig Food will cease providing clinical Dietetics services and in 2026.

I will be continuing to provide innovative nutrition workshops, education and training for the early childhood education sector which has been a core service of KDF since the very beginning, and I’ll also be continuing to encourage and support the next generation of Dietitians through professional supervision.

Equally important, is the announcement that our incredibly skilled Dietitians, Ines, Lyndal and Kirsty are busy preparing to open their own independent Dietetic private practices in 2026, so we are able to offer the majority of our client families continuity of care.

We know this is a big change, and so the team are here to support our client families through this transition phase.

I want to thank everyone who's been a part of the Kids Dig Food journey so far - my beautiful team including our absolutely wonderful client care officers, Jess and Lori who many of you know so well, our client families, our referrers and our colleagues, anyone who has ever attended a KDF workshop or webinar, thank you, and our followers on Social Media.

Ines, Lyndal, Kirsty and myself look forward to continuing our connections with you into the future, in a bit of a different way.

Keep your eye on our socials over the coming month, because we have so much more to tell you.

Deb (Director and Founder) and the Kids Dig Food Team ♡
