Picky eating in children

A table where everyone knows their job, without pressure or bargaining.

Book this service Talk for 15 minutes first

Ages 2–6

no pressure, plenty of repetition

Caution about new foods is a normal part of development between two and six, but every meal can turn into a negotiation. A plan that separates the family's and the child's responsibilities and relies on repeated, pressure-free offering.

At the visit we first list together the foods your child eats, meal times and what is said at the table. The growth chart and your paediatrician's assessment matter; if there is weight loss, faltering growth or difficulty swallowing I refer you to your doctor first.

The plan moves forward with small changes at the table rather than rewards and punishment: a new taste next to a familiar food, joining in the kitchen, leaving the portion to the child.

Who is it for?

Families of 2–6-year-olds whose list of foods is shrinking
Families with bargaining and tension at the table
Children whose meal routine changed after starting nursery

Questions about this service

Should I bring my child to the visit?

I suggest doing part of the first visit without your child, so we can talk freely about difficulties at the table. You can bring your child to follow-ups; there is a play corner in the room.
