👀 Exposure Therapy for Picky Eaters – Small Steps, Big Wins! 🍽️

Ever feel like your child will never try that green thing on their plate? Don’t worry — you’re not alone.

Exposure therapy is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps children gradually feel safe and confident with new foods — without pressure.

💡 It starts small:
👃 Smelling it
👆 Touching it
👀 Looking at it on the plate
🍴 Helping prepare it
💬 Talking about it
👅 Eventually tasting it (maybe… just a lick at first!)

🔁 Repeated exposure builds comfort over time. Sometimes it takes 15+ tries – and that’s totally okay.

✨ In the meantime, Koru Kids Essentials fills nutrition gaps with a flavourless wholefood sachet designed for tamariki with restricted eating.

Because nutrition shouldn’t be stressful 💛

🍊 VITAMIN C: More Than Just Oranges! 🍓
At Koru Kids Essentials, we believe in the power of real NZ foods – and when it comes to vitamin C, there’s plenty more on the menu than just citrus!

🌱 Why it matters:
Vitamin C supports immunity, helps heal wounds, and boosts iron absorption – especially important for picky or restricted eaters.

🥝 Top NZ-friendly vitamin C sources for tamariki:
✔️ Kiwifruit – the little green powerhouse
✔️ Strawberries – a sweet hit of antioxidants
✔️ Broccoli – especially when lightly steamed
✔️ Red capsicum – crunch + colour + C
✔️ Feijoas – seasonal, tart, and tasty
✔️ Citrus – oranges, mandarins, lemons
✔️ Potato – yes! Especially with the skin on

🧡 Even if your child’s diet is limited, Koru Kids Essentials is packed with whole food nutrients including vitamin C – in a flavourless daily sachet that mixes into anything.

✨ No flavours. No fuss. Just clean, daily nutrition for growing Kiwi kids.

🥄 When food feels too much 😣
For some tamariki, it’s not about being “picky” — it’s about sensory overload.

👃 Smells too strong
👅 Textures too slimy
👁️‍🗨️ Colours too bright
👂 Crunches too loud

These are real challenges for kids with sensory sensitivities, especially those with autism, ARFID, or anxiety around food.

💡 That’s why we designed Koru Kids Essentials — a flavourless, low-texture, easy-to-mix daily powder. No battles. No overwhelm. Just nutrients.

✅ Mix into their safe foods
✅ No taste or smell
✅ Designed by a paediatric dietitian
✅ Supports growth while you take baby steps with new foods

🫶 You’re doing an amazing job. We’re here to help — one bite at a time.

🦴 CALCIUM FOR GROWING KIDS 🥛
Did you know that nearly 1 in 3 Kiwi kids aren’t getting enough calcium? 😮

Calcium is essential for:
✅ Strong bones and teeth
✅ Healthy muscle and nerve function
✅ Growth during key developmental stages

But here’s the challenge:
Many tamariki with restricted eating or dairy allergies miss out on key sources like milk, cheese, or yogurt.

💡 That’s where Koru Kids Essentials comes in.

Our tasteless daily powder includes calcium—without the dairy, sugar, or drama—making it easy to stir into:
🍌 Smoothies
🍝 Pasta sauces
🥣 Porridge
🥄 Yoghurt alternatives

✅ No flavours
✅ No fillers
✅ NZ-designed by a paediatric dietitian

📦 One sachet a day = nutritional peace of mind 💚

🧁 From white bread to veggie muffins
🍌 From Up & Go to real smoothies

🥖 Why Do Selective Eaters Prefer Beige, Crunchy, and Predictable Foods?
Koru Kids Essentials | Clean Daily Nutrition for Growing Kiwi Kids

Children with selective diets often gravitate toward the same types of foods—and there’s a reason why. It’s not about being “picky”… it’s often about feeling safe and in control. 💛

🍞 Common preferred foods:
▫️ Plain carbs (bread, crackers, noodles, chips)
▫️ Processed or uniform foods (dry cereals, pouches, nuggets)
▫️ Predictable textures (smooth, crunchy, dry—not mixed)
▫️ Mild or bland flavours
▫️ Repetitive meals without surprises

🔎 Why these foods?
✔️ They’re visually consistent and won’t change day to day
✔️ They’re easy to chew or swallow for kids with oral-motor sensitivities
✔️ They reduce anxiety around smell, texture or taste surprises
✔️ They offer a sense of control in a world that can feel overwhelming

🌱 At Koru Kids Essentials, we honour the slow, steady process of food exploration—while offering a flavourless, nutrient-dense boost that meets kids where they’re at.

😟 Why Do Some Kids Get Food Anxious?
Koru Kids Essentials | Nutrition Backed by Science + Heart

Food anxiety in children isn’t just “picky eating.”
It can stem from real emotional, sensory, and psychological roots that deserve understanding and support. 💛

🔎 What causes food anxiety?

🧠 1. Sensory sensitivity
Some children experience textures, smells, or sounds of chewing more intensely—causing fear, discomfort, or disgust with foods most kids tolerate.

👶 2. Early feeding experiences
If a child has had choking, vomiting, reflux, or pressure to eat in the past, these traumatic associations can trigger long-term food aversions.

💬 3. Anxiety or neurodivergence
Children with anxious temperaments, autism, ADHD, or ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) may develop food rules, fears, or rigid patterns that feel safe.

🔁 4. Loss of control
Constant coaxing, bribes, or battles at mealtimes can increase a child’s need to control food choices and trigger avoidance.

🌱 Koru Kids Essentials is here to support families where food variety is a work in progress. We believe in food-first—but understand it’s not always enough.
