I’m SUPER excited about this week’s episode because I am speaking to the G.O.A.T of the child feeding world, Dr. Katja Rowell. Katja is an author and child feeding specialist with a passion for supporting parents in helping their children to do their best with eating and to relate to their bodies in positive ways. In this episode, we cover topics like;

• The difference between regular old picky eating and look at some red flags for when kids or families maybe need a little more support with eating
• How if you feel like there’s a problem and you could do with support and reassurance then that in and of itself is enough of a red flag that you should reach out for help
• Whether or not it’s helpful to pursue a diagnosis around eating difficulties
• Problems associated with some more conventional feeding therapies or programmes and why Katja and I prefer to work in a way that is less prescriptive and more responsive
• Values of responsive feeding therapy and talk about what they look like in action
• Some of the pitfalls perhaps in teaching kids to listen to their tummies, if our agenda is to get kids to eat less.
• Felt safety, what that means and how we can foster it at mealtimes.
