Sometimes children can be finicky eaters, refuse food, or demonstrate food refusal. As parents, we are fearful that our children will not receive the nutrition needed to develop and reach appropriate developmental milestones. Therefore; we tend to give in and let them eat food that is not nutritious.
This can create tension in the household during mealtime when this should be a time for family to enjoy their time together. Let’s get ready to tackle this problem so you can enjoy a harmonious meal with your family and have peace of mind that your child is getting the nutrition they need.
Through the application of behavior analytic principles, your desired outcomes can be reached. The ultimate goal is for your child to have age appropriate eating skills across environments and to ensure all caregivers have the tools needed to implement the recommended strategies.
