Intuitive Feeding

💛🍁🦃

Holiday meals with a “picky” eater can feel overwhelming and even dreadful for many families.

This season, we want to encourage you to make a few shifts and see what happens for you and your child.

What if the focus isn’t on what your child eats rather on how you connect this holiday season. 💞

Remember: familiar foods, low pressure, and lots of love go a long way to reduce the stress on you and your child during these events.

✨ Connection. Curiosity. Calm. That’s the real recipe for a joyful holiday meal.

Save this for your next family gathering 🦃❤️

The language we use with our kids is powerful!💪🏼

We all want our kids to eat and behave well at mealtimes. The last thing we want is to engage in a power struggle and make the mealtime stressful…. Cause that’s no fun for anyone AND also reduces our child’s appetite.

So what do we do you ask? We use “DO” language with our kids ! 🗣️ Reminder to watch your tone and facial expressions too.

This teaches are kids WHAT TO DO, avoids power struggles, sets them up for success, reduces the activation of their stress response and makes them feel like we are on the SAME TEAM!

What push back do you get from your kids at mealtimes?

We love the warmer weather when you can dine Al fresco on your home patio, visit a food truck or enjoy a picnic by the water. 😎🧺☀️

These new environments can be a fantastic opportunities to expose kids to new foods and often engage whether it be look at, touch, smell or even lick a new food! 👀👅🖐️
