This episode is for parents of picky eaters! Whether you have young children or older teens with limited foods they will consume, we are going to find solutions today.
Christine Miroddi Yoder is a pediatric feeding expert, mindset coach, and owner of Foodology Feeding. She is a thought leader in this field and has developed the concept of Mealtime Mindset, which is a holistic, positive mindset approach to feeding.
Christine has a Master’s in Speech Pathology and has taken over 30 courses in feeding that span from infants with bottle aversion to picky eaters, sensory processing difficulties, nutrition, oral motor, myofunctional therapy, sleep disordered breathing and more!
We learn:
Picky eating is different from problem feeding, which is more severe and involves a limited number of foods, fear of trying new foods and difficulty handling mealtimes
Processed foods (think chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, breads) may contribute to the rise in picky eating, as they are easier to eat and can lead to muscle weakness and sensory issues
How to get to the root cause of picky eating and how food allergies and reflux can play a role
Why you should avoid asking children to try new foods or commenting on their eating habits
The impact of braces and tongue ties on eating habits and how even adults can have undiagnosed tongue ties
The importance of creating a positive mealtime environment and changing both parent and child mindsets around food
