Sometimes even our favorite foods can be rejected when something feels “wrong.”
Over the weekend, Mason had BIG feelings when his ice cream was served with scoops side-by-side instead of stacked one on top of the other. 🍦
What looked like a small change to me felt like a big deal to him. After some positive food discussion, validation of his feelings, and gentle encouragement, he was able to move past the unexpected change and enjoy his favorite treat.
This is a great reminder that food acceptance isn’t always about taste. Presentation, routine, expectations, and predictability can play a huge role ♥️
