Sometimes, the fastest way to reduce fear around food… is through humour! 🥕
In this session, Sam used humour & play to help shift a toddler’s feelings about vegetables. She explored the food in fun ways - wearing it as a hat, balancing it on elbows, pretending to put it in noses… until our little friend confidently showed her the “right” way to eat it! 👏🏼
This play-based feeding strategy helps with:
- Reducing fear around non-preferred foods
- Building trust with whole food groups
- Supporting children to feel safe & in control
When children are laughing, engaged, and feeling connected, their brains are much more open to learning & trying new things 🌟 💛
