This one is for our parents! If mealtimes feel like a daily struggle — filled with negotiating, pressure, or preparing multiple meals only to have food left untouched — this program is designed to help. Grounded in Ellyn Satter’s Division of Responsibility in Feeding (sDOR), a feeding framework recognized by many physicians and pediatric experts as the gold standard in feeding, this four-part program will help parents better understand what is truly typical in child eating and why most picky eating does not require fixing.

Program starts June 17th!
