​Feeding Difficulties Workshop

Shu-Lin Pook, Paediatric Dietitian, and Jessica Cleary, Psychologist, are coming together to provide a workshop on Feeding Difficulties especially for parents and caregivers

Shu-Lin will provide information on the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) approach to feeding. This approach is a systematic way of empowering a parent to understand and respond to feeding difficulties their child may present with. It is a whole-child approach which takes into account sensory and motor development, organ systems and oral-motor, learnt behaviour, nutrition and environmental factors.

Jessica will provide support in how to manage your own stress around meal times and to support children through any anxiety they may have around eating.  

We support and promote an approach to feeding which helps your child feel comfortable throughout the eating process. No more force feeding or threats around eating. 

This workshop is for you if YOUR CHILD:

• Is a fussy or picky eater
• Eats very little
• Consistently eats different meals to the rest of the family
• Has a very limited range of food he/she will eat

This workshop is for you if YOU:

• Have tried threats, bribes and everything else to get your child to eat
• Are at a loss of what to do next to help your child to accept new foods
• Feel anxiety and dread as meal times approach
• Lose your cool when yet another meal is rejected by your child.
