If you’re already feeling anxious about Christmas mealtimes — you’re not alone. 💛

Family comments, changes in routine, pressure to “just eat it” — it can all feel a lot.

Here’s your gentle reminder: your child doesn’t need to try everything, sit perfectly, or match anyone else’s plate.

They just need calm, safety, and trust — and that starts with you. 🌿

If you’re dreading the holiday meals, now’s the perfect time to get a plan in place so you can actually enjoy the season too.

🎄 Festive pizza night = family dinner made fun 🍕

Pizza is the ultimate “safe base” for most kids – and when you add festive toppings, it becomes food play too.

Try:
⭐ Tree or star shapes from peppers
⛄ Snowmen faces with cheese + olives
🎁 Sweetcorn “baubles”

💡 It’s low pressure, fun, and gets little ones exploring foods in a relaxed way.

💬 And don’t worry about it being neat. Wobbly snowmen and lopsided trees are part of the fun!

👉 Save this for your next Friday night dinner and tell me below – what topping would your child go for first?

💛 From Mealtime Chaos to Calm Progress

When Kinvara’s family reached out, every meal felt like a battle — shouting, food throwing, and refusal even for favourite foods. She relied on distraction to eat and preferred bottles of watered-down milk to almost everything else.

Through our 1:1 sessions, we introduced calm structure, no-pressure routines, and playful food exploration. Step-by-step, Kinvara started engaging with new foods, sitting longer at the table, and building confidence. 🌈

Now, she’s joining family meals more often, trying fruits again, and mealtimes feel calmer for everyone.

If this sounds familiar — if you’re tired of the stress, the short meals, or feeling like you’ve tried everything — I’d love to help.

📩 DM me or comment SUPPORT to find out how personalised 1:1 feeding support can transform your family’s mealtimes too.

When I moved back to Northern Ireland, I stayed with my lovely friend Karen a Health Visitor from Calm & Connected while waiting to sell my house in England. 💕

At that time, I wasn’t quite sure what was next for me professionally, I had moved from academia back into the NHS with a community paediatric post— I just knew I wanted to keep helping families feel more confident and relaxed around food.

Karen turned to me one day and said, “You should start running weaning workshops with me.” This is us celebrating after one of our workshops before Christmas!
And that’s how Nutrition4Kids was born! 👶✨

Her encouragement gave me the little push I needed to take that first brave step — and looking back now, it changed everything.

Sometimes all it takes is someone believing in you before you fully believe in yourself. 💫

Here’s to the friends who cheer us on and help us find our purpose — thank you, Karen ❤️

If eating out as a family feels stressful — especially at this time of year — you’re not alone.
Festive meals bring new foods, smells, noises, and pressure, which can be overwhelming for fussy or sensory eaters.

When I first met Nuala, she hadn’t eaten out with her daughter in months.
Through our 1:1 support, we worked on calm exposure, routine, and sensory strategies — and by Christmas, they were enjoying family meals out again.
That’s not just about food. It’s about freedom, confidence, and connection.

✨ If you’d love to feel calmer before Christmas, now’s the perfect time to start 1:1 support.
We’ll build a plan tailored to your child’s comfort level so you can head into the holidays feeling confident.

🌿 And if you’re ready to make lasting change, my new Calm Plates Parent Programme launches in January — a gentle reset for calmer mealtimes in 2026.
