When a child refuses to eat, gags with non-preferred foods, or is struggling, it is understandable that it can be difficult to know how best to respond. Therapists can help guide this discussion.
Perhaps our biggest success in feeding intervention is helping a parent be able to feed their child. One way we do this is to help caregivers understand their child’s cues and how to respond appropriately in the arena of feeding.
Pediatric Feeding News has created a fantastic printable handout about parent styles and feeding. Whether your a therapist or a parent facing feeding challenges, this is a wonderful resource.
