In this episode I’m going to be giving you some practical tips to handle common feeding struggles that happen during the holidays, including how to address negative comments you might get from family members about your child’s eating habits. Arguably one of the most common things I hear from parents is dreading when they have to go to a large family dinner, already anticipating the clash of different feeding styles everyone has. This can be tough – especially if you have a picky eater and you’ve been working hard on their feeding habits!
Sometimes it can seem easier to just avoid going to get togethers so you don’t have to deal with it, but it doesn’t have to be this way! Listen to my 5 tips that I know will give you the confidence to handle those negative comments and struggles that come up with grace! Remember that the holidays are about love and the feeling of togetherness, and my wish for you is to be able to enjoy holiday dinner with your family!
