Understanding Feeding Challenges and Supporting Your Child Without Pressure
Mealtimes feeling more stressful than enjoyable? Does your child have a limited list of preferred foods, strong reactions to unfamiliar foods, or difficulty exploring new flavors and textures?
You're not alone, and there's often more to feeding challenges than meets the eye!
Join the pediatric feeding specialists at NEST Therapies for an engaging, supportive workshop designed to help parents and caregivers better understand their child's relationship with food.
Together, we'll explore the many factors that influence eating, including sensory differences, anxiety, predictability, and developmental skills. You'll walk away with practical, pressure-free strategies to support your child and create more positive experiences around food.
What we'll explore:
Why eating is more complex than simply taking a bite
What's really behind food refusal and selective eating
How pressure can impact a child's relationship with food
Simple strategies to encourage curiosity, connection, and confidence
When additional feeding support might be helpful
Who is this for?
Parents and caregivers of school-aged children who experience selective eating, food-related anxiety, sensory differences, or other feeding challenges. This workshop is welcoming to families of children with all neurotypes!
Workshop details
Duration: 60 minutes total, including time for questions and discussion
Led by pediatric feeding specialists from NEST Therapies
Interactive, practical, and neurodiversity-affirming
No prior knowledge needed!
Our goal isn't to get your child to eat everything on their plate. It's to help you better understand their needs and discover ways to support a more comfortable, connected relationship with food.
Come curious, leave empowered!
This workshop provides general parent education and does not replace an individualized feeding evaluation or medical consultation.
