Helping Kids Love Mealtime: OT Tips for Feeding Success!

Описание: In today’s episode, we dive into some real-life feeding strategies that Jessica recently discussed with a fellow OT who’s working with a client struggling with picky eating and meal-time resistance. Feeling stuck in a rut? You're not alone! Sometimes it just takes a good brainstorming session to unlock fresh ideas.

We cover practical tips and strategies, including:

🍽️ How focusing on one meal a day can improve family engagement around the table.

🍽️ Fun and motivating ways to get a picky eater excited about meals (yes, fun really does help!).

🍽️ The power of consistency—how building a daily habit can change everything.

🍽️ Giving kids more responsibility in the kitchen and around meal prep, from grocery shopping to cleanup.

🍽️ Moving away from grazing to structured sit-down meals (and why hunger can actually be a good thing in some situations!).

🍽️ Ways to switch up therapy routines to keep feeding sessions fresh and engaging, like using sensory bins, changing environments, or giving kids more control.

If you’re working with kids on feeding challenges, or just looking for some fresh perspective, this episode is packed with actionable strategies you can try today. Tune in for an honest, practical conversation on making mealtime a little less stressful and a lot more fun! 😋
