Is it picky eating or a feeding disorder? How to handle both with feeding therapist Rebecca Taskin

When parents have a picky eater on their hands it's easy for them to unwittingly enter into a dance with their child that can lead to them becoming more and more resistant to foods as parents grow more and more frustrated during mealtimes. If you've been stuck in this dynamic with your own child, don't worry, there is a way out of this vicious cycle.

In this episode, I'm joined by Rebecca Taskin, a trained feeding therapist and licensed speech and language pathologist. We'll discuss techniques you can use to start gently stretching your child out of their food comfort zone and mindset shifts for you to make that will allow you to remove some of that pressure during mealtimes. We'll also talk about the signs to look out for if you think your child might have a more serious feeding issue and when to seek clinical help if you're worried their food struggles may be more than picky eating and could be a feeding disorder.
