Extreme picky eating and Avoidant Food Restrictive Eating Disorder (ARFID)
If it feels like your child isn’t growing out of their picky eating or if your child has been diagnosed with Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) it may be time to seek some extra support.
I work with parents and children to discover each child’s unique nutrition “North Star” for their needs. What constitutes a “Healthy Diet” can vary widely, and that’s perfectly alright. I guide parents toward their children eating regularly, eating enough, and expanding variety over time.
My approach is tailored to each child. It involves four main areas: education, making early changes, addressing factors that maintain picky eating, and the gentle introduction of new foods through exposure. Ultimately, we’re working together to help your child become a confident eater who understands and trusts their body. The process can take time but leads to a lifelong rewarding, healthy, and flexible relationship with food.
