Raising Kids with Sensory Processing Difficulties to Eat Well On Their Own (HPC: E106)

Picky eating.

It's a bane of many parents' existence, but it doesn't have to be this way.

I love how every expert brings their own perspective to the table when it comes to various root causes of picky eating, and Renae Fieck brings her experience as an occupational therapist to us today.

We'll talk about:

* How the feeeeeeel of food can impact how much and how well kids eat
* How to avoid micromanaging in practical ways
* Strategies to teach kids to know when they're full, choose the right amount of food to eat, and listen to their bodies (many adults need these skills too!!!)
* Super fascinating explanation of how feeding actually follows a particular progression, and why skipping a step can be disastrous
* Why using the words "hungry" and "full" takes special attention
