EI providers do incredible work — but many were never trained in responsive feeding, even though it’s a proven, protective, relationship-centered approach.

If you address feeding in EI at all, this new RF Pro course is your starting place.

No matter what’s underneath your child’s feeding challenges — oral motor differences, food or texture sensitivities, anxiety, pickiness, or neurodivergence — progress begins with trust and understanding. 💛

Real learning and progress happen only when feeding feels safe and comfortable — when it’s built on a solid foundation of trust between you and your child. 🌱

Get curious about the quality of food interactions, not just the goal of overcoming differences. Slow down, reconnect, and begin again.

And when you’re ready for guidance, find a responsive feeding specialist who can support you and your child along the way.

For decades research has and continues to show what many families already feel—pressure at the table doesn’t help kids learn to like food.
One study found that even years later, many adults still disliked the foods they were once pressured to eat.

💡 Takeaway: Pressure doesn’t build acceptance—it builds avoidance. Kids learn best through curiosity, safety, and connection.
