My guest this week is
Melanie Potock, an international
speaker on the topic of feeding babies, toddlers, and school-age
kids. She is the co-author of the award-winning
Raising a Healthy Happy Eater: A
Stage-by-Stage Guide to Setting Your Child on the Path to
Adventurous Eating. The
tips in her parent and child cookbook,
Adventures in Veggieland: Help Your
Kids Learn to Love Vegetables with 100 Easy Activities and
Recipes, are based on
the latest research and Melanie’s 20 years of success as a
pediatric feeding therapist. Melanie’s children’s book
You are Not an Otter
takes preschoolers on a food
adventure, exploring all the ways that various animals eat!
Melanie’s advice has been shared in a variety of television and
print media, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal,
Washington Post, CNN.com, and Parents Magazine.
In
this episode, Melanie and I discuss key strategies for families
with picky eaters. By working to build skill and ability around
food, Melanie helps bring joy back into mealtimes for families
struggling with severe picky eaters. Utilizing research-backed
practices, Melanie walks parents through identifying whether
professional intervention is necessary and the steps to take that
yield real results for their family. Often children who suffer from
severe eating problems experience heightened anxiety and hesitancy
around food that can affect their personal and social development
regardless of whether they have a pre-existing developmental
disorder.
