Early Years “Fussy” Eating – Hobart

A workshop is for parents and carers who are worried about their child’s eating.

Parent Information Session

This workshop will be run by a speech pathologist.
The workshop will cover a Responsive Feeding Approach to avoidant/selective eaters.

The workshop will cover the following areas:

  • What is ‘typical’ fussiness and when is action needed?
  • Why do some children find it difficult to eat a range of foods?
  • The importance of environment and parent/child roles during mealtimes
  • Common issues
  • Strategies
  • Long term vs short term goals
  • Developing your own plan
  • Resources

Parents will develop and plan strategies tailored for their individual child at the end of the session. A phone consultation following the session will be provided to support parents in the implementation of the plan at home.
