What the dinner table battle is really about
If mealtimes in your house feel like a daily negotiation you never seem to win, this episode will change how you see that fight. Fussy eating in children living with ADHD is not a phase and it is not a parenting problem. It is biology. This episode looks at the science behind why so many children living with ADHD struggle with food, why the dinner table battle was never really about the food itself, and what you can actually do about it. Plus a practical habit that gets more nutrition into a brain that needs it without turning every meal into a battleground.
