Matariki is known as Māori New Year in Te Ao Māori (the Māori world view).

Closely connected with the maramataka (the Māori lunar calendar) the reappearance of the Matariki stars in the early morning sky brings the past year to a close and makes the beginning of a new year.

It's a time for remembrance - honouring those we have lost since the last rising of Matariki. Celebrating the present - gathering together to give thanks for what we have. Looking to the future - looking forward to the promise of a new year.

f your child is adamantly refusing to eat an entire category of food, it's important to recognize that they are more than just picky eaters.

Their aversion to specific food groups may indicate a deeper issue that requires attention and support. This could be due to sensory issues and, or oral motor difficulties.

If you've noticed that your child is gradually reducing the amount of food they consume, it's crucial to understand that they are more than just a picky eater. Especially if they won't reintroduce food they have refused after a 2 week period.

Let's be proactive in observing and addressing their dietary changes to ensure their health and well-being.

Is your tamariki stuck on a limited selection of foods?
If your child's repertoire consists of less than 20 foods, it's time to take action
It's important to understand that they are not simply "just a picky eater" and won't outgrow it on their own.
We encourage you to keep a weekly food diary, documenting everything they eat.
If the list falls short of 20 foods, it's advisable to reach out to a feeding therapist for specialized guidance and support.
Together, we can help your child expand their food choices and foster a healthy relationship with eating.

Remember, early intervention is key!
