You know what I said?

"I am so freaking proud of you!"

This Momma has been working hard with her child. She has incorporated more play in "non-play" situations such as this.

➡️Her child was having a loss of control in the moment regarding the food served at dinner.

➡️She gave him the space to express his frustration.

➡️She met him with connection and play.

Did he eat everything on his plate? No.
Does he have to in order for this to be a successful meal? No.

This family found success by supporting their child in the moment, and adding play and patience.

If you are struggling with your picky or limited eater and you are looking for support, set up a free consultation. Link in bio!

This video is from a few months ago. I had to use this strategy two nights ago.

➡️Logic is not available to them at this age. ➡️Imagination and creativity is.

✨️Lean into that.✨️

I know it doesn't come natural to most parents to be able to add silliness to a frustrating situation such as a child stalling bedtime.

I promise if you can dig deep and add an ounce of silliness to the situation your child is more likely to comply because they will be feeling connected to you.

🫣What is your child's favorite tactic to avoid bedtime?
👀How do you navigate it?

If you are having struggles with day to day tasks with your child, something needs to change. At Everyday Progress, we help children and parents feel connected and support them through daily tasks like getting dressed, eating, social skills, emotional regulation and more.

They aren't.

If you are feeling frustrated that your kids aren't listening, the problem might be you.

Think about the fact that our brain doesn't fully mature until we are in our twenties! My kids are far from that so why do I expect them to have that capacity.

💚Did it feel like extra work to make the teeth car wash to get a simple task done? Yeah.
💚Was it fast and only required a little fun and imagination, also yes.

If you have a hard time speaking their language of "play", we can help! At Everyday Progress, we build skills through confidence and connection.

Give this a try at home and tell me how it goes! It is easier than you think!

The progress I see in a child and family varies so much. The biggest factor, caregiver involvement.

If your child has been in OT for a while and you feel:
➡️ things are kind of stagnant
➡️you are just going through the motions
➡️then it is time for a change.

This can feel really frustrating.

As parents it is important to us that our child is eating enough foods and is growing. If your child is not eating foods that they typically like, it can feel alarming. It can feel like a wild goose chase of the "perfect lunch".

So find a way to involve them.

💚Use a list or pictures.
💚Get them involved at the grocery store.

At Everyday Progress, we support the whole family to help the child growth, thrive, and learn. If you have a picky or limited eater, set up a free consultation through the link in bio!

You don't have to figure it out alone.
