The image shows a young child sitting at a table, focusing intently on a plate of spaghetti while eating with a fork. A bowl of fresh apples, a stack of neatly sliced bread, and other food items like lettuce and dips surround the table, creating a warm and homely atmosphere. In the background, another child in motion adds a dynamic element to the scene, suggesting family life in a cozy, modern dining space.

As a parent, you wear a million hats, but there’s really only one that is essential.

Keep your kid healthy - in a literal sense.

Feed them.

Today I’m going to talk about how your child’s eating habits play a role in the meltdown cycle if your child is also suffering from daily meltdowns. 

First, some housekeeping. 

I’m not a dietician. 

I have no formal educational background in nutrition.

I don’t claim to know what the best thing to feed your child is, 

And I also am not qualified to give you information on what to feed them,

or how to help them with measuring their food intake. 

(This is why we have an OT parent consultant on our team.)

What I am qualified to teach you is how eating habits can play a role in the meltdown cycle. 

Want to know how? Tune in to find out.

I help parents who are worried about managing their child’s explosive and out of control emotions to develop an individualized system to manage their kid’s explosive feelings when they don’t fit the examples in typical parenting books. I know you are a parent of a Highly Sensitive Child and are ready to stop scouring the internet for new strategies, throw out those traditional parenting books that don’t match your kid, and develop an individualized system to manage your kid’s explosive feelings.
