Kids eat best when they aren’t experiencing pressure - ESPECIALLY picky eaters!

I know it feels hard!

I know you’re worried they won’t eat anything at all!

But I promise you, it will help. You just have to commit for longer than 10 mins

What you’ll probably find is that every single meal time the only conversation that exists is pressure - and that’s no fun for anyone involved!

You got this! I know how hard it is! I know you’re a great parent and this tweak might just make things easier for u and ur little eater ###

I just ran a workshop this week about feeding therapy, and one of the key pieces of feedback was how empathetic, whānau centred and kind my approach is 🥹

BUT - I don’t think that’s special to just me! Most of us in the feeding space understand that parents are dealing with a HUGE amount of societal stigma, their own sense of shame and guilt, and struggling to know what choice is “the right” choice ❤️‍🩹

From a therapeutic perspective, being aware and responsive to this context helps us create space and capacity for meaningful change when needed 💛

The way people responded to highlights how comfortable ppl are making judgements under the guise of “giving advice”. And this actually makes people less likely to seek support from feeding therapists like me because they anticipate we will have the same attitude when it couldn’t be further from the truth 😔

If your babies are all grown up now, and you had to give everything of yourself and more for fear of being shamed - I’m so sorry ❤️‍🩹 AND I hope you find a way to honour that so we can stop this cycle of blame and shame

To all my parents in the trenches navigating feeding - I see you, I hear you, you’re doing better than you think I promise ###x

What do I use to help kids make progress with their eating?

💛 things that make feeding playful - because kids learn best through play!

💛 a pressure free approach, where I invite them to get curious and playful with me, but I never pressure them to do anything they don’t want to do

💛 I start with activities that require little to no touching of non-accepted foods and then as their confidence grows we can move towards touching with hands, arms, face and ultimately mouth!

If ur in the trenches with ur picky eater, and want to get playful but don’t have the time, energy, or brain power - then our Food Explorer Cards might be just what you need 💘

Keep on keepin’ on team ###

When I share that being playful with food is often ESSENTIAL to rewire the relationship picky eaters have with food, I often have parents tell me “I don’t know how” so here’s a few extra tips:

🌱 follow YOUR interests. If you have a science brain get playful with food by experimenting, investigating, researching (modify it to meet ur kiddo where they’re at), if you have a sports brain make games using food and commentate it like you do when you watch real sport! Find your own version of fun and use that

🌱 curiosity is key, look at a food, describe it, talk about it and see if there’s anything you don’t know about it that you might like to know. E.g for processed foods can you find a video of how they’re made to watch together! For fruits and veggie do you know how they’re grown and harvested?

🌱 this doesn’t have to happen at mealtimes, if mealtimes are too hectic pick 1 time a week where you will be playful and curious with food with your little eater

🌱 if brain power is a barrier, we made the Food Explorer Cards to help! All the fun that picky eaters need, based on evidence that works, and no brain power required from tired adults 💛

Good luck ###

Here’s a step by step of what u need to do to shift ur kiddo from someone who grazes and refuses meals into someone who eats well at mealtimes! 🥰

Autonomy and being responsive to ur little eater during mealtimes is so important! But this has to be built on a foundation of predictable routine set by the adult! ❣️

We don’t let kids set their own bedtimes because we know they wouldn’t get the sleep they need to thrive, so we need to also be firm on mealtime schedules to help them eat their best at scheduled meal opportunities to get the nourishment they need! 😋

Good luck team!

Keep on keepin’ on ###

I made a card game and I haven’t been great at describing and or promoting it on here because I can never keep my rambling short enough to fit in one video… so here we are lmao 🥲

I made the Food Explorer Cards specifically for exhausted parents who need a hand with feeding their little one AND don’t have the time or brain space for other options that are available!

If that’s u, u can access the cards on my website 🫶🫶 physical versions available for nz & aus, digital version available for everyone else 💛
