3: Fussy eaters – how to take the stress out of mealtimes

Introducing Dr Kyla Smith, paediatric dietician specialising in fussy eating.

85 percent of parents feel their young children are fussy. It can be stressful. Some kids won’t eat any healthy food at all. So what is it about children’s tastebuds and attitude that makes them so adverse to good foods and what are some practical strategies to help them? Kyla has over 10 years experience working with children and parents who are finding mealtimes challenging. Kyla is passionate about helping parents and children to experience positive mealtimes, without stress and worry.

Kyla has a range of useful resources on her website https://www.mealtimes.com.au/

and bases her approach on the Ellyn Satter 'Division of Responsibility' which you can find here https://www.ellynsatterinstitute.org/how-to-feed/the-division-of-responsibility-in-feeding/
