Most parents focus on what their picky eater is eating…
but forget to look at how they’re sitting.
And trust me — posture can make or break mealtime success.
When kids don’t feel stable in their chair, their body works overtime just trying to stay upright.
That means:
❌ Less focus
❌ Less coordination
❌ Less chewing
❌ Less eating
Here’s the fix 👇
✅ Use the 90-90-90 rule
• 90° hips
• 90° knees
• 90° ankles
This gives your child the postural support they need to coordinate hand-to-mouth movement and chew safely.
🪑 Easy ways to support them at the table
✔ Add a footrest (dangling feet = unstable body)
✔ Use a booster seat, cushion, or rolled towel behind their back
✔ Add a non-slip mat under their bottom
✔ Try a smaller table/chair setup
✔ Keep the table clutter-free for sensory + visual stability
These simple tweaks reduce discomfort, improve focus, and help picky eaters feel more confident at meals. 🙌
