Does your child ever...?

…take a while to actually start their meal?!

We think they’re being fussy, we barge in with a, ‘Come on, get on with it then!’ when perhaps all they needed was a little longer to adjust themselves and now we have a Tense Table and food refusal.

Let’s give our kids the space to assess, process, don’t rush in! After all, we wouldn’t dare do this to a friend coming for dinner, would we?! …would we?!

If meals are taking longer than 20 minutes, then call it a day, most kids won’t eat much past that time

Kid not eating much variety?

Download my document ‘How to get your child to eat more variety’ and you’ll certainly be on the right track after reading it, dietitian approved too.
