Why is my child a fussy eater? Karina Savage | 12 March 2024

Episode 22: Why is my child a fussy eater?

Fussy eating affects almost 50% of families with young kids… so it’s an issue many of us can’t escape.

Having said that, it’s something that can be improved dramatically with the right strategies. The thing is, you can create an effective action plan until you understand why your child is fussy in the first place.

As a mum and pediatric dietitian, in this podcast episode, I share my insights on better understanding why kids are  fussy.

Fussy eating affects almost 50% of families with young kids… so it’s an issue many of us can’t escape.

Having said that, it’s something that can be improved dramatically with the right strategies. The thing is, you can create an effective action plan until you understand why your child is fussy in the first place.

As a mum and pediatric dietitian, in this podcast episode, I share my insights on better understanding why kids are  fussy.

Here are five key points we'll discuss:

1. Understanding the underlying causes of fussy eating.

2. How developmental milestones influence children's eating habits.

3. The role of sensory preferences in food refusal.

4. Recognising other factors like tiredness and feeding environment.

5. Why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work and the importance of tailored solutions.

If you're tired of mealtime battles and want to learn effective strategies to nourish your child, this episode is for you. I'll also share success stories from parents who've used my methods and seen remarkable changes in their children's eating habits.
