Picky Eating Help Advice from an Occupational Therapist Part 1

I talked to Tammy Bishop, an occupational therapist and feeding specialist. I’m excited to have her here with us today! She will be able to answer some great questions that we usually get about what are the best ways to feed kids, the best ways to introduce foods to babies and much more.
Kids don’t have to be picky eaters! There are plenty of ways to fix unhealthy habits! There are methods you can use today to help your kids. Find out how here!
In this part (part 1 on 3) we will focus on introducing solids to babies, why you shouldn’t be an authoritative parent, eating at preschool (some methods to help kids eat healthier at school) and cooking with kids.

Well thank you so much! We are trying to grow awareness. It's so tough :) Please share our videos and channels with your friends as half of all parents would say they have a picky eater. You are in good company. It's normal for this age, but there are a lot of strategies parents can do to help their kids overcome their picky eating and create a healthy relationship with food that lasts a lifetime. One of the best things you can do is to offer a lot of variety. Here are some broccoli and meatball recipes that you can try overtime with your little one. Also, check back on our website as we have thousands of awesome recipes for kids and adults. feedingmykid.com/article/broccoli-recipes/ and feedingmykid.com/article/homemade-meatball-recipes/

My 10 year old is an extreme picky eater and I believe he is also lactose intolerant (he only drinks rice dream). I really don't know what to do after years of trying to get him to try different foods, any suggestions I'm desperate.?

I speak with parents every day that are in a similar boat as you. It's super challenging! Have you see the video about food chaining on our channel? We also have tons of resources on our website feedingmykid.com/?s=picky+eating over time, check out the different articles and videos. Not every approach works on every child and it might work in six months and not now. It's worth the effort and time and frustration... because it isn't easy! Have you contacted a Feeding Therapist? Do you have specific questions? Have you seen all the videos in the series?
