The Mellow mealtimes masterclass™
Feeding theory
The first section explains the theory behind the eating. What it is, how it works and why it works.
- Understanding current, internationally recognised feeding theory is critically important. Let’s create a solid foundation so you know your language, your approach and the dynamics around food and feeding are supportive. Many of the best strategies fail when we are not approaching them correctly.
- Having all principal care-givers on the same page and using the same methods, language and approach is critical for optimal results.
- Often meals are not pleasant when we have a child who is not eating widely. Learning how to reset the feeding dynamic is really important for returning the joy to meals and mealtimes.
- Making changes – specific to your family
The second section is longer, and explores how to implement that feeding theory in your house, with your child and their specific dietary requirements/restrictions.
- Firstly we’ll go through our unique 7 steps program and the 5 phases to eating and discuss how to apply in your household.
- Then we will look meal-by-meal at what is happening and how to make changes that are supportive of better eating.
Starting with breakfast we will build a plan for each meal. You will know exactly how to approach the meal.
- Explore food options that work for your child.
- Discuss strategies for maximising the chance of progress.
- Brainstorm around potential stumbling blocks.
- Tailored program to fit around your specific circumstances.
Come away confident what you are doing is best practice, you are armed with the strategies to make changes and empowered with a plan as to how to do so.
Support is offered at all stages of the program. Know that if at any stage you have a question or feel you need some additional help, that will be provided.
– Although this all may seem overwhelming and daunting, many of the strategies we implement will be positive for your child.
We will also be working very hard to slot changes into your existing routines. I’m a working parent so I get that there is only so much time and so much energy in a day!
