Is your child a picky eater, or is there more behind their food choices?
Many children have food preferences, but sometimes eating difficulties can be linked to sensory needs, oral motor skills, or sensitivity to textures, tastes, and smells.
A child refusing food may not always be “being stubborn.” It may be their way of communicating that something about the eating experience feels difficult or overwhelming.
If your child eats a very limited variety of foods, avoids certain textures, struggles with chewing, or mealtimes often become stressful, it may be worth looking at the bigger picture.
Understanding the reason behind eating challenges is the first step towards providing the right support.
Observe. Understand. Support.
