PICKY EATING

“A Great New Way to Rid Your Home of
PICKY EATING and achieve stress-free mealtimes”

Imagine if you could go to your favorite restaurant with your family and your kids were able to order from the menu with little to no substitutions and no meltdowns. What would that mean to you?

What is considered to be “Picky Eating”?

Picky eating is when a child has a decreased range or variety of foods that are in his/ her diet. They often have difficulty with or refuse trying new foods that are offered to them.

What causes Picky Eating?

Picky eating can be caused by poor experiences with foods. These can be from allergic reactions or reflux, behavioral /environmental factors (i.e. forced feeding, lack of exposure, lack of structured mealtimes), and/or physiological impairments.

Impairments it can cause…

Picky eating can impact family dynamics, difficulty bonding with parents, and may create social impairments for the child.

Physiologically, picky eating can come from…

• Poor oral motor skills
• Oral hypersensitivity
• Gastrointestinal issues
• Allergies

When should I worry?

• If the range of food in the child’s diet drops to less than 20 foods
• If the child frequently “falls apart” when presented new foods
• If an entire food group is refused due to looks or textures (i.e. only will eat crunchy foods)

When does it become an emergency?

• If the child decreases in weight dramatically
• If the child is no longer following his growth curve
• If the child refuses ALL foods.

If you experience any of these symptoms, call us immediately.

Traditional treatments that most try but are not as effective include:

• Medication
• Force feeding
• Not feeding them in hopes that they will get hungry
• Allowing the child to graze

If left untreated, PICKY EATING can lead to PROBLEM FEEDING and/or malnutrition.

Parents will make EXTREME accommodations to help the child eat, further creating difficulties with feeding. This continues to impact the parent- child relationship and even though a child may be eating, he/she may be eating very few foods resulting in malnutrition.

Ask Yourself these Questions to See If your Child is a Picky Eater…

1) Can I give my child various foods, in all food groups with ease?
2) Do I have to make significant accommodations for my child during mealtimes?

DISCLAIMER: If you answered Yes to any of the above questions, your child may be a picky eater and you may need to see a feeding therapist to get an official diagnosis.

“How do you get rid of Picky Eating?”

Multiple variables, such as how your child is feeling, where the meal is taking place, and who is present during the mealtime, can impact picky eating. There are strategies to facilitate feeding success. Structured mealtimes, bridging, behavior strategies, and modeling are just a few strategies to add to your bag of tricks.

With practice of these techniques and with consistency, these strategies can really impact feeding and create a new bond between you, your child and food.

Not all treatments are the same.

Not all traditional treatments lead to a better eating. And believe it or not, some may make your child’s eating worse! Not all practitioners treat the same.

Our methods are highly unique. We focus on parental understanding and the ability for you to carry out techniques and strategies for you to improve picky feeding.

Years of experience and research has led to the discovery of this new way to eliminate picky eating.

My name is Stephanie Coe and I am a pediatric occupational therapist who specializes in helping children who are picky eaters to increase the variety of foods they will eat. This is important because it will allow them to grow and thrive. I am swallow certified and have been treating picky eaters for over 25 years.

My name is Leilanie Dao and I am an occupational therapist who is passionate about helping children with picky eating habits increase the variety of foods they eat.
