The SENSE-ational Mealtimes book is for those who know a child who struggles to enjoy family mealtimes. You are not alone as nearly half of families with young children experience difficulties around mealtimes that are often accompanied with feelings of frustration, confusion, annoyance, worry, distress and anger. If you are a parent or caregiver of a child who eats few foods, refuses entire food groups, will not eat family meals, becomes anxious, tantrums or gags when presented with new foods or finds security in a particular food being present at every meal, which has been prepared the same way, then SENSE-ational Mealtimes is for you. Together with those we have previously had the privilege of joining with, we trust you will find the key to managing tricky mealtime behaviours, fussy/picky eating and feeding problems is not found in a list of strategies, but in exploring the way our genes and past experiences shape family mealtimes. The SENSE-ational Mealtimes book helps parents understand what they and their child are experiencing at tricky mealtimes. SENSE-ational Mealtimes explains that what sounds, smells, sights, touch, movement, temperatures, tastes and textures we avoid, are bothered by, tolerate, love and seek are based on our genetics, the sensory thresholds in our brain, our feelings and interactions, our surroundings and our previous experiences and memories. SENSE-ational Mealtimes is the much needed book that enables caregivers to discover just right ways to meet their child's unique SENSORY PREFERENCES for mealtimes and stretch toward nutritious food for the whole family. As the expert in relation to your child, SENSE-ational Mealtimes will help you develop just right stretching of the range of nutritious food your child accepts and enjoys as you SENSE-itively tune-in, reflect on, empathise with and label your own and your child's sensory preferences for mealtimes. When caregivers use SENSE-ational Mealitmes to help them continually tune-in to and empathise with their child's SENSORY experiences and feelings at mealtimes they find they are able to bring delight and pleasure to the most difficult of family mealtimes and fussiest of eaters!

Book Description
In Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating, a family doctor specializing in childhood feeding joins forces with a speech pathologist to help you support your child’s nutrition, healthy growth, and end meal-time anxiety (for your child and you) once and for all. Are you parenting a child with ‘extreme’ picky eating? Do you worry your child isn’t getting the nutrition he or she needs? Are you tired of fighting over food, suspect that what you’ve tried may be making things worse, but don’t know how to help? Having a child with ‘extreme’ picky eating is frustrating and sometimes scary. Children with feeding disorders, food aversions, or selective eating often experience anxiety around food, and the power struggles can negatively impact your relationship with your child. Children with extreme picky eating can also miss out on parties or camp because they can’t find “safe” foods. But you don’t have to choose between fighting over every bite and only serving a handful of safe foods for years on end. Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating offers hope, even if your child has “failed” feeding therapies before. After gaining a foundation of understanding of your child’s challenges and the dynamics at play, you’ll be ready for the 5 steps (built around the clinically proven STEPS+ approach—Supportive Treatment of Eating in PartnershipS) that transform feeding and meals so your child can learn to enjoy a variety of foods in the right amounts for healthy growth. You’ll discover specific strategies for dealing with anxiety, low appetite, sensory challenges, autism spectrum-related feeding issues, oral motor delay, and medically-based feeding problems. Tips and exercises reinforce what you’ve learned, and dozens of “scripts” help you respond to your child in the heat of the moment, as well as to others in your child’s life (grandparents or your child’s teacher) as you help them support your family on this journey. This book will prove an invaluable guide to restore peace to your dinner table and help you raise a healthy eater.
