Listener Question: When Your Toddler Refuses to Eat, What Really Works


Listen Later

What do you do when your toddler flat-out refuses their meal—or worse, skips multiple meals in a row? In this episode, Alyssa tackles a real listener question about mealtime rejection and dives deep into what’s actually happening when kids say “no” to food.

You’ll learn:

  • The two biggest mistakes to avoid when your child refuses to eat
  • Why pressuring or bribing backfires and makes picky eating worse
  • The difference between catering and being considerate at mealtime
  • Practical, proactive strategies to set your child up for success (without short-order cooking)
  • How to reintroduce foods in fun, pressure-free ways
  • By the end, you’ll feel equipped with both mindset shifts and tactical tools to bring more peace to your table.

    Want to understand why your child is rejecting food in the first place? Sign up for my free class where I’ll walk you through the root causes of picky eating—and the exact steps to start reversing it.
