Kristine and Sarah discuss compassionate food expansion, picky eating, sensory sensitivities, comfort foods, peer modeling, and why children should never be forced into eating new foods. They explore practical ABA-informed strategies like Plate A/Plate B, gradual exposure, Pivotal Response Treatment, and the importance of collaboration between families, doctors, speech-language pathologists, dietitians, and behavior analysts. 

Acorns to Oaks is presented by Nurture & Nature ABA, providing compassionate ABA therapy and parent support in Valley Village and the San Fernando Valley.
