Overview

Toddlers! How many consults do you do where the issues of food and nutrition come in! This session provides an excellent overview of fussy eating and will equip you with evidence-based advice and guidance so you can effectively support parents who have questions and concerns about fussy eating. 

The live webinar will be a 1 hour taught webinar, presented with PowerPoint slides. There will be time during the session for Q&A. 

Background information

Adults come to parenthood with their own eating habits, likes, dislikes, rules or beliefs around food and inadvertently pass these on to their children simply by being. Children enter a cognitive developmental phase where picky eating, food refusal and skipping meals entirely is not uncommon. How parents act during this frustrating phase can make or break the feeding relationship and determine whether fussy eating is here to stay or will be nipped in the bud. 

This webinar aims to provide you with evidence-based parenting strategies for raising a happy healthy eater, so you can advise parents appropriately when questions around fussy eating arise.
