From Food Battles to Felt Safety: A Regulation-Based Approach to Feeding. Join Spot's Founder & CEO, Kate Broderick, for an in depth discussion with Rachel Zabel, a PhD qualified clinical dietician and feeding therapist who specialises in supporting neurodivergent children with feeding challenges, including extreme picky eating, ARFID and paediatric feeding disorders. Kate & Rachel talk about:

• Their own parenting journeys with regard to feeding.
• Why feeding is one of the most stressful parts of family life
• Why "picky eating" misses the mark for many neurodivergent kids, and what to look out for.
• What happens in the body when kids feel anxious around food.
• How polyvagal theory helps us to understand feeding challenges differently.
• Responsive feeding therapy - what it means and what progress may look like
• Advice for parents who may be feeling stuck.
• Things clinicians may miss with other approaches.
• Why feeding stress often increases around back-to-school time
