📣Calling all parents of picky eaters! 📣

Therapy Adventures is launching a feeding group called "Tasty Adventures" for children ages 5-8 and their caregivers. This 6-week series will meet weekly on Thursdays from 4 PM to 5 PM, starting August 29 and running through October 3.

Children will join group feeding sessions led by an Occupational Therapist and a Speech Therapist. These sessions will focus on creating positive food experiences, helping children develop and expand their sensory skills, and making them feel more comfortable and willing to try different foods. Meanwhile, parents will attend educational sessions led by a psychologist who specializes in pediatric feeding disorders.

We currently have 3 spots left!

If you have any questions or would like more information, please reach out to: Amanda (at) therapy-adventures (dot) com

This is such a helpful perspective for parents to understand WHY their little one might prefer packaged snacks over fruits and veggies--bottom line: they can be so inconsistent!

🚨 PSA - this image keeps getting stolen and shared all over the internet. If you see it with our logo cropped out or without attribution to , will you please tag AND DM us?? We created it years ago, and it’s one of our favorites. And yes, those are my {Megan’s} thumbs...I’ve gotten made fun of allllll over various posts for how old they look, but as a proud 41 year old mama, that’s just how they look 🤷‍♀️

We can laugh about how true this is, but it actually helps us understand our kids’ eating - and maybe our own - a little bit better. You see, fruits and veggies can be unpredictable. You don’t get the same texture, flavor or appearance each time when you eat fresh produce like you do with crackers, veggie straws, goldfish or puffs. It’s inconsistent, and for a reluctant eater…it’s a risk. You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into.
•
Your blueberry might have the perfect texture and flavor…or it could be sour, overripe and disgusting 😭😱🤢 It’s no wonder kids can become hesitant to eat produce.
•
Of course, this is just one of the reasons kids can struggle to eat their veggies and fruits, but we hope it helps you understand where they’re coming from. They’re not trying to be difficult - they’re struggling and still learning. It takes time. Here are some tips:
•
1) If you have a crunch lover, experiment with freeze dried fruits and veggies. They can help kids who crave that crunch enjoy more produce foods.
•
2) Don’t stop serving veggies and fruits, but stick to a teeny tiny amount on the tray or plate. One or two blueberries is a great place to start if they’re reluctant to try them.
•
3) Try to w**d out any produce that might be overripe, bruised or mushy like you would do for yourself. {This isn’t about neurotically searching for the perfect blueberry 😂😰 Simply pull the ones that you wouldn’t want to eat yourself because they’re too ripe.} These make great smoothie ingredients.

We have all seen this scenario before. A child is beginning therapy and their preferred play routines have been modified in a way to challenge them. For instance, a favorite toy is now being withheld in hopes of generating enough frustration to motivate the child to request it. Parents are often led to believe that frustration is part of program and to trust the therapeutic process.

As therapists working with children who have a long list of goals, we often feel pressure to make progress happen as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, frustration and distress are actually barriers to progress.

By introducing frustration as part of the therapy process, we end up losing trust between ourselves and our students.

So, what can we do instead?

✨Change our mindset and check in with ourselves. Are WE having fun? Are we feeling relaxed and in the zone? If not, it may be a sign to reduce the pressure.

✨Reset our expectations. What goal are we trying to work on today? Is that goal achievable or will it require a child to experience distress?

✨Find the challenge threshold. Sometimes finding the sweet spot of how much to push and how far to go feels like an art form. It won’t always be perfect! Our advice is to press a little, then wait to determine any signs of distress. If a child begins to show frustration, pull back a bit and enter the calm and relaxed zone before trying that method again. (It may not be until our next session together!)
