A step by step plan to END picky eater battles!
Give your child a lifelong healthy relationship with food.
Your child would eat more foods than they do?
Instead of the same few day in and day out.
Mealtimes weren’t a struggle and your family could enjoy a meal together?
Instead of failed meals or no meal at all, and forget about going to restaurants.
Your child wouldn’t freak out or totally refuse new and different foods?
Instead of feeling discouraged, frustrated, and burnt-out when a new food is an epic fail.
You felt good about their nutrition and health because of the foods they did eat?
Instead of being worried they aren’t getting the vitamins and nutrients they need.
Or, maybe you haven’t tried anything because you’re paralyzed in fear that if you change anything at all your child just won’t eat.
