Navigating behaviours and triggers of fussy eaters have long been an enigma for many parents.
Frustratingly many fussy eaters can eat well at childcare, however not at home.
Why is this the case?
What strategies and techniques can be learnt from childcare centres and applied at home to help incentivise your fussy eater at home?
Our special guest, Marie-France Laval, Dietitian-Nutritionist will tell us how.
Marie-France shares her expert advice to help us understand what there is to learn from childcare centres to help to remove barriers and take a step closer to raising healthy, happy eaters.
We ask Marie-France questions including:
- Why do some children eat well at childcare and not a home?
- How do childcare centres use routine and structure that suit fussy eaters? How can parents model this technique at home?
- How do childcare centres provide more independence to fussy eaters? How can parents adapt this technique at home?
- How does the childcare environment provide less attention and pressure to fussy eaters?
- What about peer modelling from other children, is that useful?
- How has eating at the canteen shown to help children with becoming more adventurous with food? What did the Birch study show?
- What should parents do if their children refuse to eat at childcare and also at home?
