6 individual consultations
Access to 3 x pre-recorded webinars
+
Six month support package provides intensive support tailored to the specific needs of you and your child.
– A thorough assessment to discuss mealtime challenges and concerns.
– Review of submitted pre-consultation materials, including 3-day food diary and mealtime video.
– A personalised action plan.
-One follow-up appointment a month to review progress.
A key part in the success of this programme will be ensuring that it works for YOU and YOUR FAMILY.
A bespoke, family and child-centred package is developed for each client, using evidence-based approaches. Together, we will set clear targets and revisit them on a regular basis to review progress.
Having the consistency of a series of consultations is by far the most effective way to achieve results – significant progress does take time.
We can work together to support your child to make changes at their own pace, and that will make a long-lasting difference. I’m really confident we will get to the point where mealtimes are a pleasure not a battle.
It is ideal for parents with children aged 1-6. However, if your child is slightly older or younger and you are interested in the course, please contact me at viola@peasnlove.co.uk to discuss.
Does this sound like you?
You worry that everyone’s children eat well and you’re the only one struggling.
You are concerned about your child’s limited diet or poor mealtime behaviour.
You want to stop worrying about how much or how little your child eats.
You want your child to be more adventurous and open to exploring new foods without bribing, begging or distracting.
You wish you could enjoy eating together.
This course will help you to:
worry less about how much or how little your child eats,
have more confidence about how to respond to your child’s picky eating,
improve everyone’s relationship with food,
create a happier atmosphere around the table so that you can all enjoy mealtimes,
plan a meal schedule that works for your family.
At the end of the programme you will know:
what to do and say at mealtimes so that your child develops a healthy relationship with food,
how to offer meals and snacks to help your child expand his/her interest in new foods
The programme of 6 consultations will cover 3 main modules:
MODULE 1 – Psychology of eating and the relationship with food.
Is my child’s eating normal?
Most common and unhelpful myths around picky eating.
Reasons why children don’t eat what we want them to eat.
Your role in the feeding process.
What can influence how you feel about your child’s eating.
Your own relationship with food.
How to support your child’s internal motivation.
MODULE 2 – Making changes – creating a flexible framework
How to create a structured but flexible routine.
Managing snacks.
How to build a structure of WHAT your child eats.
Dealing with meltdowns and complaints.
Introducing variety.
How to monitor progress.
MODULE 3- Learning to love food – how to turn your child into an adventurous eater.
Benefits of family style meals.
Why the language we use about food and eating matters.
What should we talk about at mealtime?
How to teach children about health and nutrition.
Our culture of feeding is very short-term focused and quick to offer advice on WHAT to feed, rather than on HOW or WHY.
There is plenty of advice out there about how much protein or how many green vegetables kids should be eating to thrive. What parents seem to be missing is information WHY children refuse to eat certain foods and HOW to help them learn to accept them.
You don’t need to be a nutritionist to master the fundamentals of feeding your child – you just need an effective feeding strategy. There is a way to make feeding easier, more rewarding and effective – it all starts with having a long-term view.
If you focus on the short-term strategy, children
may not regulate intake well (eating too much or too little)
might associate food and eating with negative feelings or rewards.
What we really want is for them to see eating as enjoyable, be able to self-regulate their intake and enjoy the social aspect of eating at the table.
Food is the aspect of feeding that is most talked about but it is also filled with a lot of confusion and misunderstanding. How much nutritional knowledge do we need to have to feed our children well? Based on research and my own experience, most parents know that children need fruit and vegetables, protein, whole grains, dairy products and fats to be healthy. I have never spoken with a parent who thinks their kids will thrive on candy floss. No one believes doughnuts are better than blueberries.
Our goal is not to eliminate “naughty” or “unhealthy” foods that are everywhere but to teach our kids the art of balance. I believe that all foods are great, play an important role in our lives and can fit into a healthy diet.
Understanding your child’s nutritional needs is vital, but so is navigating the not-so-good stuff children are naturally drawn to. The HOW and WHY of feeding will help you make sure your children have a varied, balanced diet but also a healthy relationship with food and are able to trust their own bodies.
HOW you feed your child is extremely powerful. Your attitudes, your actions and the structure of mealtimes influences how your child views food, eating and his or her own self. HOW you feed is a key to preventing many childhood eating problems, including obesity, picky eating, dysfunctional attitude to food and eating disorders.
