“Sometimes, discerning the difference between a “picky eater” and a problem feeder can be difficult. Determining whether or not your child is even a “picky eater” to begin with isn’t necessarily simple.” (SOS Approach to Feeding® - Dr Kay Toomey website)
It could just be a hiccup in their developing tastes, or a little phase they’re going through. But if your child is a picky eater or a problem feeder, they will likely require support to learn how to eat a more varied diet. If you’re concerned about a potentially “picky eater” in your life, read the list below and learn whether SOS Approach to Feeding can help your child. (SOS Approach to Feeding® Website)
The SOS Approach to Feeding® developed by Dr Kay Toomey is a reasonably intensive programme and may be an appropriate therapy for your infant, child and/or adolescent with or without a developmental delay and/or disability if they:
Have a restricted range of foods they can tolerate
Refuse entire categories of food texture/nutrition groups
Have to eat a different meal from the rest of the family
Are underweight or at risk of becoming underweight due to limited food intake
Find mealtimes distressing
