🚨 If mealtimes feel stressful, overwhelming or like a daily battle field in your house… we feel you and you’re not alone! 😮‍💨

This is our hot tip:
👉 it’s actually not about the food first!

🛟 Start with safety
🤝 Start with connection.
😮‍💨 Start with taking the pressure off!

Because when a child feels:
✔️ safe in their body
✔️ supported at the table
✔️ not forced or rushed

That’s when eating actually becomes possible! 🍎 😮

Try this first:
🍎 Sit and eat together (even for a few minutes)
😮‍💨 No pressure to eat – exposure is enough (having something new to look at can be tricky)
🍞 Keep some of their preferred foods on the plate- having something they know the like can be a good safety net!
✨ Focus on connection over “just one more bite”- as tempting as it can be!
🪑 Postural stability is important- make sure their feet are touching the ground or surface and their back is supported.

Follow us for realistic, evidence-based strategies to make mealtimes feel easier (and maybe even enjoyable again! 😮 🍽️)
