It’s natural for parents to feel anxious about their child’s food refusal, especially if it results in a limited diet. Parents often feel guilty, like it’s their fault that their child is fussy, but let me be the first to reassure you that this is not the case.
Sure, there are things we do as parents that might make food refusal better or worse, but I can promise you, it is not your fault.
Whether your child is becoming picky or is showing signs of extreme food refusal, read on to find out how I can help you...

For the first time ever we went out for brunch as a family and there were no screens and no tantrums! It was such a pleasant experience.
I am so so happy to think of the progress that one week can make! Thank you!
