✨ Our in-person picky eating workshop was everything we hoped it would be—and more

Parents walked away with:
✅ A better understanding of why their child struggles with food
✅ Strategies they can use right away—without pressure
✅ A sense of connection, support, and hope

We laughed, we learned, and most of all—we reminded parents that they’re not alone.

📩 We’re already planning the next one!

🌧️ Stuck indoors with restless kids thanks to all this rain? You’re not alone! A lot of families have been telling me how hard it’s been to keep their little ones regulated without outdoor time

The good news? Movement can still happen inside—and you probably already have everything you need at home!

Here are 5 easy, regulation-friendly activities you can try on a rainy day:
1️⃣ Blanket slide
2️⃣ Blanket swing
3️⃣ Laundry basket car
4️⃣ Animal or wheelbarrow walks
5️⃣ Indoor obstacle course

These activities help with sensory regulation, connection, and burning off some of that extra energy—all while keeping things simple and playful.

💬 A parent recently shared:
“Sometimes early intervention doesn’t work. What’s Plan B? No one talks about that.”

This post is for every caregiver who’s felt discouraged when early intervention didn’t lead to the changes they hoped for.

The truth is:
🔹 Early intervention is just the start—not the solution.
🔹 “Didn’t work” often means “didn’t meet expectations” or “wasn’t the right fit.”
🔹 Support needs to evolve with your child, and with you.

Let’s keep the conversation going—with compassion, community, and evidence-informed care.

You’re not alone on this journey. 🩵

“Just one bite!” often leads to more resistance, not more eating.

Instead, try:
💬 “Yum, l like pasta!”
💬 “Do you want to poke the grape or apple
(with a fork/toothpick)”
💬 “You can explore it and spit it out if needed.”

In our May 29th workshop, we’ll share a full list of pressure-free phrases that encourage, not demand.
