Messy mealtimes are intentional in feeding therapy. When we don’t rush to wipe our children’s hands or faces, we’re supporting their body awareness, sensory exploration opportunities, and tolerance of different textures.
Feeling food on the skin helps your child learn where food is, how it moves, and how their body responds, which are all important foundations for accepting a variety of food items.
If mealtimes are feeling stressful, don’t hesitate to reach out! Feeding therapy can help build comfort, skills, and trust at the table!
