Go ahead and ask away! Any feeding question accepted. Like I said, I have an interesting take on ARFID and selective eating since I have quite a few aversions myself and it’s hard for others to understand. I am healthy and have a good relationship with food and now help others who are struggling.

Feeding therapy is NOT a magic bullet! What does good feeding therapy for ARFID or selective eaters look like?
1. Learning how to handle anxiety or discomfort
2. Feeling confident that new foods may feel odd or unfamiliar, but they CAN handle that feeling
3. Feeling supported by parents who are confident in how they offer their support
4. Knowing that baby steps and small wins are the key to real progress

And for a lot of parents, that sentence feels like a deep exhale.

Because you’ve already tried:
• The charts
• The rewards
• The pressure
• The “just take one bite”
• The therapy that looked right but somehow made everything harder

And now you’re tired.
Tired of meals turning into meltdowns.
Tired of feeling like every bite is a battle you’re somehow losing.
Tired of wondering if you’re doing something wrong when you’re actually doing everything you can.

Here’s the truth most parents aren’t told 👇
ARFID isn’t a food problem.
It’s a nervous system + anxiety + trust problem.

That’s why at Food For Thought Therapy, we use a SPACE-informed approach (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions).

SPACE means:
✨ Supporting your confidence as a parent
✨ Reducing unhelpful accommodations (without ripping the rug out from under your child)
✨ Responding to fear with calm leadership—not pressure
✨ Building tolerance for discomfort safely and gradually
✨ Helping kids feel capable instead of controlled

We don’t start with food.
We start with safety.
With predictability.
With parents who finally feel empowered instead of blamed.

Because when anxiety softens, food can follow.
And when parents change the system around the child, the child doesn’t have to fight so hard anymore.

If traditional feeding therapy hasn’t worked…
If your gut says there has to be another way…
If you’re ready for support that actually sees you too…

It’s a question I get all the time. And yes…a diagnosis is important

ARID and picky eating can look similar, but there are significant differences. And both can benefit from intervention! It’s important to know to target therapy in the right direction.
I can help show you how.

I’ve been there (personally and professionally). Ask me anything. And if I don’t have the answer, I have the resources to find out.

As a feeding specialist who does this on the daily Chipotle is a great go-to place for selective eater. Not only does is come already deconstructed (you can practice all food separately or put them together to work on tacos or quesadillas, but there are lots of customizable options which makes ordering way easier

Plus-it exposed your kids to foods and flavors you may or may not be having at home. So either way is a win! (You are either providing more exposure opportunities OR you safely showing them new flavors and options.

What is your go-to place ? Comment below and let’s get a list going to help and support each other!
