Is it "just a phase"? Package
Navigating the tricky world of mealtimes with a toddler is TRICKY!
This package provides professional guidance to determine if your toddler just needs support through this phase to encourage food exploration or if we need to implement strategies for a true "picky eater".
Location: Child's home environment (where mealtimes happen!)
Number of sessions: 2
Duration of each session: Approx. 60 minutes.
*At least one parent/guardian must participate in each coaching session
Package Details
All information, strategies, and play will span TWO sessions. Each session will build upon the previous session and/or new concerns of parent. This allows for flexibility in instruction, but also allows me to tailor sessions to exactly what you need to succeed!
​
During our sessions we may:
Discuss what is and isn't working during mealtimes
Review of development and feeding history.
-
Assessment of current motor development,
-
Assessment of sensory systems (we all have senses and feeding is a MAJOR sensory demanding experience!)
-
Oral motor skills assessment
-
Inventory of current foods tolerated
-
Lots of play, singing, and FUN for you and your little one!
​
Professional guidance for oral motor development:
-
Education on typical oral motor development
-
Strategies for successful teeth brushing
-
How to encourage oral motor skills outside of mealtimes - during play!
​
Professional guidance on how to determine if your child is gagging or choking and what YOU need to do during each to support your child's oral development while keeping them safe.
​
Professional guidance of how to transition from breast/bottle to cup of family choice. Professional recommendations available at family's request, otherwise cup will be family choice.
​
How to use baby signs to encourage early communication, but also ease tantrums at the table.
​
After these two, in depth sessions, we will determine if your toddler's "picky eating" is truly a phase and if so, you will leave with personalized strategies to work through even the most stubborn, toddler meal sesh. If after the two sessions we determine your toddler's food refusal is just the tip of the iceberg, I will guide you through the next steps to best serve your family's needs.
​
This package is designed to help your child succeed. As part of this package, we offer complimentary video calls to problem solve strategies if future issues arise. Note that this package is designed for one child only. If you need assistance with another child, please purchase an additional package. Our team of experts is here to help and support you every step of the way, ensuring that your child’s developmental feeding needs are met.
