Food 4 Thought Therapy

Food 4 Thought Therapy Welcome to Food for Thought Therapy! We specialize in treatment for pediatric feeding, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, and speech and language needs.

In addition, Kelly provides coaching for therapists and parents, and is trained in hypnosis. This page is a forum to help you dissect your picky eaters "bad habits", offer new techniques to trial during meals, and determine when skilled intervention is appropriate for your specific needs. My goal is to avoid dinner disasters and alleviate the stress in getting the appropriate nutrition for your loved ones. About Picky Eaters Online:
- I am a trained Speech and Language Pathologist with specialized training in behavioral feeding therapy.
- I will be posting general comments I have heard frequently from clients, and some suggestions to try with your little one.
- I will facilitate this group to initiate conversations about meal time woes, personal experiences and helpful hints.
- When "tips" may not be enough, and a feeding consultation is warranted by a board certified professional, I will be here to guide you each step of the way

Helping a child try new foods again isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about rebuilding safety.

When you slow the pace, start with familiar foods, and make mealtimes calm and predictable, their confidence grows one tiny step at a time.

Small wins count. Safety comes first. And progress happens when your child feels in control, not pressured.

Kids don’t resist because they’re “difficult.”

They resist because they feel powerless.

Shift from “no” to giving choices, showing them how to handle uncomfortable situations, and support their confidence in a positive way and you’ll be surprised how quickly the tension fades.

Tip #2 drops tomorrow, follow so you don’t miss it.

Did you know there are actually 3 different subtypes of arfid?
1. Sensory averse
2. Fear based
3. Low interest

Does any of this resonate with you? Which one does your child seem like?

It’s crazy how life changes.

Sometimes the smallest, most unexpected moments, like a smear of ketchup on a hamburger, can set off a chain of events that completely shape who we become.

What once felt like a mess or a mistake can turn into purpose and even a career.

Life sure has a way of turning the things we struggle with into our greatest strengths.
