<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most parents come to me for help with getting their kids to EAT – without hearing them say YUCK before they even try it. #frustrating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as a parent of a child who was underweight<\/a>, I totally understand why!  We want our children to consume the nutrients they need to grow and thrive.  And sometimes we’re successful getting them to put new foods in their mouth, by offering cookies as a bribe, sneaking it into their smoothies, or begging them to take two bites.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But personally, even if my daughter took those bites, I didn’t feel great about it.  Because she didn’t try broccoli on their own.  She ate it to get a cookie. Or to get me off her back. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After helping hundreds of parents navigate the frustrations around feeding their children, including my own extremely picky eater, I discovered a ‘shortcut’ so-to-speak on how to help kids accept new foods FASTER.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was only once I realized two really important things about why kids eat so poorly.  Two facts that I talk about in my Free webinar<\/a> (and when I train schools\/childcare facilities) that parents (and teachers) need to know if they want to see real changes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TWO unknown facts about feeding children: <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNKNOWN FACT #1 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always thought eating was easy – everyone gets hungry and needs to eat right?  But as a mom of a former picky eater I know that’s not true. Eating is one of the most difficult tasks we do as humans. <\/strong> It’s more difficult than walking or talking. CRAZY RIGHT?!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it’s not as simple as putting a spoonful of food in their mouth.  We need to make eating EASIER for our kids – the question is how to do that without being overly accommodating?  (i.e. just giving them their favourite foods).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNKNOWN FACT #2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, virtually every human being goes through something called FOOD NEOPHOBIA<\/strong> – which is a fear of trying new foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust me!  Your child really wants to like eating.  This fear may just be holding them back from trying new foods.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
