Your child isn't being difficult…
Their body is just trying to protect them from what it remembers as dangerous, even though the danger is gone.
What DOESN’T help ⬇️
Bribes, begging, forcing, bargaining, or cash rewards. Pressure deepens the fear and it tells their nervous system that food really is something to be afraid of.
What DOES help ⬇️
patience, small steps, removing the pressure, and rebuilding trust with food, slowly and gently.
If your child has stopped eating the way they used to after an illness, trauma, or hospitalization, know this: recovery is possible, but it takes the right approach.
Let me help you bring your child back to food without fear. DM to work together.
