Taste buds and food wheels 🛞

Each client journey is different, and each resource we choose to share with a family is tailored to them!

This food wheel is great for our 4-8 year old kids that may have increased anxiety when food is being discussed 🤯

This food wheel guides families away from the “it’s yummy”, “try it” or “you used to like it”. Instead we can use real describing words, allowing kids to engage at a sensory level!

Thank you for creating the awesome resource 👏

Growing in our garden 🌱

Next time you come into clinic, have a look at our little garden on your way in!

We have little strawberries, zucchinis and tomatoes thriving in the spring sun 🍓🍅

Gardening, another great way to engage kids with food 👩🏽‍🌾

Zinc and Kids!

A key mineral for growth, development and the immune system 💪

Zinc is found in meats, dairy products, fortified cereals, nuts and seeds 🥩🥜🥛

Age group requirements:
1-3 year olds: 3mg/day
4-8 year olds: 4mg/day
9-13 year olds: 13mg/day

How much Zinc is provided in a food? Some examples below!
Cheerios = 1.8mg/serve
Special K = 1.8mg/serve
Baked chicken breast = 1mg/100g
Baked beef mince = 7mg/100g
Almond meal = 3.4mg/100g

We recommend a combination from the food groups, however, we understand for pickier eaters this might look different and that’s why we are here to help 🤝

Our Story

“ One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.” Luciano Pavarotti

Lively Eaters is a family owned and operated centre, whose values and principles are grounded in providing evidence based functional and practical support and advice to families with children who have challenging eating. Our therapists have many years experience with child development, family dynamics, troubled/challenging eating as well as specific expertise in sensory processing, diet and nutrition, oral motor development, parent/child interaction and emotional communication development. All of these factors must be considered when working with feeding disorders - whether they be children who are tube fed, children who are ‘fussy’, children with lifelong genetic and medical conditions, children with neurological impairment, children with sensory processing challenges (such as Autism, Sensory processing disorder) or just children/babies who are not quite developing as you thought they might and need a little more guidance to work it out.

Lively Eaters has been providing quality support to families in Adelaide, South Australia and across Australia for the last 10 years. Our values of empathy, reliability, knowledge and flexibility allow families to develop at their own achievable pace.
