Hi Katrina,
First, I am so sorry for the late reply! Must have been a glitch in my IN box – my apologies! I look forward to meeting you! Do you know that in ever single seminar, I have a therapist walk up to me and say “I’m really here for my own son/daughter…” In fact, I’ll be writing a piece about it for ASHA at the end of the year. Hope to meet you soon!

I am a registered dietitian and my middle child is my worst nightmare at the dinner table and the breakfast table and the lunch table. At 10 years old he is a well-established picky eater. eating at a restaurant , eating at friends houses , eating on vacation all require a plan. we gave up the fight for new foods many years ago and are stuck in that rut. I cant give up hope that I will get him to eat a piece of fruit someday… but i am honestly out of ideas.I am afraid that his label is a picky eater does afford him some special attention as a middle child …however his picky have it started long before he realized he was in the middle…fussy about the type of pacifier, the type of nipple on his bottle, and refusing baby food until nearly his first birthday. I even had terrible morning sickness and food avoidances while pregnant. Picky eating is a major source of guilt for me, anxiety for my son, and certainly affects the entire family.

I am an SLP AND my almost three year old son is a “picky/problem” eater. I am completely stressed out because he doesn’t eat a variety of foods (particularly whole food groups). I am signing up for your course coming up in September or October. I am praying for something that works for my son and for the children I work with. I want him to enjoy food and eat a variety of different foods without them being “yucky”.
