Caring for a child with feeding challenges can get very frustrating! It's easy for caregivers to pressure these kids to eat but pushing a picky eater during mealtimes will almost always backfire, leading to every meal becoming a battle of wills.

Pressure causes stress in a child. When a child perceives stress, their adrenaline levels shoot up and they go into "fight or flight" mode, which essentially “shuts off” the hunger feelings within their body. In other words, stress shuts off hunger!

Are you concerned about your child’s development? Because there is so much growth in all areas within the first few years of life, many children need a little boost to gain certain skills.
