Have a picky eater at home? Sick of mealtime battles? I'm excited to offer this wonderful program starting in April.

This program is unique and has many benefits including:
- Curriculum that was created by a team of experts, including a pediatrician, a feeding specialist and nutritionist.
-Research-backed - Children showed significant improvement in key areas regarding picky eating and willingness to explore new foods.
-Multi-sensory approach
-Parent resources given each week
-It's fun!
Spaces are limited.

Frozen veggies are not a compromise. 🤷‍♀️ ⁠
⁠
Sometimes picky eaters like the soft texture of cooked frozen veggies. Serving with some butter or oil can help too! ⁠
⁠
If you want your picky child to get on the road to eating more foods, I’d love for you to get my free 14-page picky eater guide. It’s so helpful. DM or comment GUIDE26 and I’ll DM it to you.⁠

It can be *REALLY* hard to reduce the amount of questions you ask kids, but this is a super important strategy to use when working with kids who have delays or difficulty communicating.

What you can do instead:
✅ Comment or narrate about what you see happening, “Look at the airplane!” “The dog is barking too loud!”

When you know children understand and can say the word/concept:

✅ For some kids, a lead in comment with wait time may be helpful, “the dog is….. (wait) barking!”
✅ Say something silly, “You are 39 years old….. (wait to see if they correct you), if not, “NO! That’s silly. You are 4 years old!”

The tongue acts like a switch for nasal breathing!

When your tongue is resting up against the palate, the only way you can breathe is in and out of the nose. 👃

If you’re noticing habitual mouth breathing, it might be helpful to check for restrictions or other factors that could be affecting your tongue’s resting posture.
