Feeding Therapy Tips For Picky Eaters

Are you making these common mistakes with your picky eater?

🍽️ Serving all new foods at once: This can be overwhelming for a picky eater and can result in increased anxiety around mealtimes if they are unsure of if there will be a safe food offered.

🍽️ Serving foods mixed together: Might lead to complete refusal of the food presented if there is one item mixed in that they are not comfortable with.

🍽️ You judge the serving size: Increases pressure for the child to eat a certain amount and disregards their own cues. Chances are your serving size is more than they can handle.

🍽️ Pressure to eat everything: Leads to overeating and unhealthy eating habits, long term struggle with food, and ignores their natural hunger and fullness cues.
