✨ Mealtime Tip Tuesday

Keep meals to 30 minutes or less. Shorter meals = calmer kids and less stress for parents. ⏰

👉 Kids focus better with shorter mealtimes, and it takes the pressure off everyone at the table.

🦛 See you at the table.

💭 Ever wonder how to help your picky eater?

It’s not just about picky eating—it’s about helping children of all ages build the skills, confidence, and comfort they need to eat well.

Feeding therapy can support:

🍅 Picky or limited eating
Building comfort with new textures, tastes & routines

🧠 Sensory challenges
Supporting aversions to food smells, sounds, or sensations

🥄 Oral motor delays
Helping with chewing, swallowing, or tongue control

💬 Parent coaching
Helping caregivers reduce stress and support progress at home

At Happy Hungry Hippos, we take a whole-child, whole-family approach to feeding—whether your child is just starting solids or navigating selective eating as a teen. 💛

🍌 “He loves it — didn’t cry, not even once. He just surprised me and reached for a banana and started biting on it. He ate like half of it. Thank you for all the work you did with him.” 💛

Moments like this are why I do what I do. Proud of this little guy and all his feeding wins!

🎓 Food School Graduate: James

From “no thank you” to “I’ll try it!” in just 7 sessions—that’s what we call Big Bites and Big Wins! 💪🍽️

James came to feeding therapy completely refusing new foods, and today he graduates confidently trying everything placed in front of him. 🙌

We’re so proud of this rising 1st grader and the incredible effort he and his mom put in—driving a long way each week, sticking with every part of the home program, and making serious progress in a short time.

The work continues at home now, but James has all the tools he needs to keep going strong. Way to go, James! 🦛💚

🎉 Food School Graduate Spotlight! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Raylan—a true feeding warrior! 🦛💪

When we first met, trying new foods felt scary and overwhelming. But with courage, consistency, and a whole lot of hard work, he took one brave bite at a time. And look at him now! 🙌🍎🥦

Overcoming food anxiety isn’t easy, but it is possible—with the right support and program. We’re so proud of you, Raylan!

See you at the table,

Feeding therapy isn’t just for toddlers.
Older kids and teens struggle too — and often carry years of anxiety, fear, or control around food.

This amazing teen came to therapy with a very limited diet and strong resistance to adding foods. While she could physically eat more, anxiety and control made it hard to move forward.

Through trust-building, gentle exposure, and supportive strategies like calming routines, she’s now trying — and even repeating — new foods. 💪

One of her favorite tools? Coloring between food tasks to regulate and reset. 🎨🧠

She’s close to graduating — and we’re so proud of her brave steps.

🎯 Feeding therapy meets every child where they are — no matter their age or story.

See you at the table,
Charlene

🎉 Big congratulations to these two amazing boys, ages 7 and 9, who just graduated from Food School in only 8 sessions — a huge achievement! 👏

When they first started, both were struggling with extreme picky eating and food anxiety, making mealtimes a daily challenge. But with consistency, support, and a lot of courage, they’ve made incredible progress — and are now enjoying meals without negative mealtime behaviors. 🍽️✨

Their journey is proof that change is possible — and that even the toughest mealtimes can turn into opportunities for growth and connection. 💛

🌟 Food School Superstar in the Making! 🌟

This brave little 3-year-old has been crushing it in our feeding clinic! 🥄 From big feelings and food refusals to cheerful bites and adventurous tastes — he's come such a long way. 💪🍎

We’ve seen fewer refusals, less pocketing, and so many more smiles at the table. Mealtimes are becoming fun again, and we’re just a few bites away from graduation from Food School! 🎓🍽️

We’re SO proud of his progress — go little food explorer, go! 🚀💛
