Helping your child with extreme picky eating : a step-by-step guide to overcoming selective eating, food aversion, and feeding disorders
Katja Rowell (Author), Jenny McGlothlin (Author)
Having a child with extreme picky eating habits can be both frustrating and worrisome--especially if you are concerned your child isn't getting the nutrition they need to grow, stay healthy and strong, and thrive. If your child has a feeding or selective eating disorder (SED), they may simply refuse to eat a number of foods altogether. Children with feeding disorders often experience anxiety, anger, and may be suspicious or untrusting of adults who pressure, trick, and even force them to eat. This book provides a clinically proven program called STEPS (Supportive Treatment of Eating in Preschoolers) that will help you get your child's feeding disorder or SED under control. You will find practical strategies you can use for dealing with food aversion, low appetite, sensory challenges, autism spectrum-related food disorders, super-tasters, oral motor delay, acid reflux, and food allergies. If your child has a feeding or selective eating disorder, this book will be a guide to help restore peace to your dinner table.--From statement provided from publisher
