Does dinnertime feel like the hardest meal with your picky eater? You’re not imagining it!

Here’s why dinner isn’t always the best time to introduce new foods:
😴 Kids are tired and less open to trying something new
🍪 If they’ve been grazing, their appetite is low
😩 Parents are drained too, and patience is running thin
⚡ Dinner often carries stress — which kids pick up on instantly

💡 Instead, try offering new foods outside of dinner:
👉 At breakfast, lunch, snack time, during meal prep, or even away from mealtimes completely.

Why it works:
✔️ Kids have more energy
✔️ Less pressure & fewer negative associations
✔️ Parents are calmer too
= A much better chance for success!

Small shifts in timing can make a big difference in how your child experiences food.

As a feeding specialist and parent to a neurodivergent child, I understand how challenging it can be to ensure they’re getting the nutrition they need — without turning mealtimes into a battle.

For many neurodivergent children, food isn’t “just food.” It can be a full sensory experience that feels overwhelming — from textures and smells to colours and temperatures.

That’s why I use gentle, practical strategies that work with your child’s sensory profile, not against it:

👉Start with safe, familiar foods and make small, gradual changes
👉Create a calm, sensory-friendly mealtime environment
👉Model curiosity and interaction with food in low-pressure ways
👉Celebrate every small win, from touching to tasting
👉Be patient — progress takes time, but it’s worth it

Picky eating isn’t always “just a phase” — and with the right approach, you can help your child expand their food world while protecting their confidence and trust. 💛

IS YOUR CHILD A “PICKY EATER” 🤔🙋‍♀️

💡Depending on a child’s age, duration & extremity of this type of behaviour, a child might just be labelled a “picky eater” or an “extreme picky eater”

‼️But as you can see, there are many factors to consider when looking at what is causing picky eating, things like:

👉Conditions like autism and ADHD can lead to food sensitivities or sensory issues particularly around the flavour, texture, smell or appearance of foods.

👉Developmental delays or physical impairments can also lead to limited food selectivity.

👉Emotional issues including anxiety disorders, with extreme fussy eating behaviour being part of the anxiety picture.

Rushing through the day with a picky eater in tow? 🍎 Snack time just got easier (and healthier)! 🙌

I know the struggle of finding healthy on-the-go snacks your picky eater will actually eat. But don’t worry—I’ve got some simple tips to make snack time a breeze:

🍓 Keep it bite-sized: Mini versions of foods are less intimidating and easier for little hands. Think mini muffins, small fruit slices, or cheese cubes.
🥕 Pack a mix of textures: A balance of crunchy and soft snacks can keep kids interested—try carrot sticks with hummus or crackers with cream cheese.
🥜 Stick to familiar flavors: Build on what your child already loves. If they’re into apples, try apple slices with a drizzle of peanut butter or cinnamon.
🎨 Make it fun: Use bento boxes or cute food picks to add excitement to their snack routine!
