What does "I'm not eating that" at the dinner table actually mean? 🤔 Here are a few things it can mean but this is certainly not an exhaustive list!

Food refusal is actually not your child trying to be difficult. It's an outward sign of an inward biological process or emotional reaction to what they are feeling.

If you're having a hard time understanding the root cause of your child's food refusal at dinnertime and have no idea how to move past this, don't worry! That's what we are here for!

🔥 The doors to the Spring 2023 cohort of Chaos 2 Calm - The Picky Eating course are open until Wednesday March 29th!

📣Parents of "learning eaters" (aka picky eaters) - this is for you! The doors to my online small group course "Chaos 2 Calm" for parents of selective eaters are open NOW until December 12th! I've revised and improved the course this year and am SO excited to get the party started! The course starts January 11, 2023 (and we're 40% full)!

This course is definitely for you if you've ever:

🙄wished that mealtime was over before it started
🙄wondered why your kid doesn't like to eat "healthy" food
🙄worried that your child will only ever eat crackers
🙄felt a "dagger in your heart" every time they drop a 'safe food'
🙄questioned if your kiddo is even remotely close to getting enough nutrients to grow and develop properly?

All the details are here so check it out and drop any questions below or send me a DM! 👇🏼

This course provides parents with a step-by-step framework, actionable strategies and live support to bid farewell to chaotic mealtime battles and say hello to calm dinners and confidence in how to raise adventurous, competent and intuitive eaters.

Is your household going through the "tridemic" or "tripledemic" with the flu, RSV and CVID-19? 🤧🤒 If so, you're not alone! Caring for a sick child can be hard enough with the extra laundry and trying to track down medication(!), let alone trying to figure out what to do to get them to eat and drink!

I can't help you with the medication shortage, but I CAN help you with feeding (and hydrating) your sick kiddo! Check out my newest post for all the details including answers to your questions: "Does dairy increase mucous production?" and "is the BRAT diet good to follow?"

"What can I feed my sick child?" is asked by all parents with a sick child. This post covers the best foods & fluids to offer kids when sick.

It also includes 10-pages of lunchbox ideas (all nut-free, includes both homemade and pre-packaged ideas), including my top picks for crackers and granola bars and navigating those aisles in the grocery store. (It's a huge game-changer session you don't want to miss!)

🔥If you need a plan to make the next 195 lunches easy-peasy, then join me, starting tomorrow night, for the start of my 3-part LIVE Master Class series. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

I'm going to solve the 3 biggest problems that you have with lunches:

1️⃣WHAT GEAR TO BUY: which bento box is the best, what thermos actually keeps food hot etc.

2️⃣WHAT FOOD TO PACK: Is there a formula? How many servings do they need? How many 'treats' is okay? How do I pack lunches for selective (picky) eaters? What if my kid doesn't eat ANY lunch? I need ideas!! (p.s. I've got 10 pages of them!)

3️⃣HOW TO NAVIGATE SCHOOL FOOD RULES: What should I do if the school lunch supervisors says that my kid has 'unhealthy' food in their lunch? How do I partner positively with staff and administration to encourage food neutral classroom? (And I'll be joined by Dietitians4Teachers for this session!)

All 3 sessions run throughout the month of August. Replays are recorded.

I've extended the early-bird $10 off coupon code to be used all the way up until tomorrow night so enter "LLearlybird" at the checkout to save!

P.S. You can still purchase this Master Class series after tomorrow night, it's just that the $10 off coupon code expires and you won't be able to attend the first session live.
