The Program
The Only Program Designed
From A Parent’s Perspective
Every parent wants healthy children, and provide nutritious meals to them, and yet we all find it hard to succeed. The Feeding Your Kids program is designed to address the real-life complications of eating related decision making that make parents struggle with feeding.
The program is used by parents and caregivers with children from age 2 (beyond nursing and baby food) to teenagers and is effective for families with children of varying ages in the household at the same time.
Delivered over time
One or a handful of ideas every day, each day building on the next, gives you a chance to digest, learn, and practice
THINGS TO TRY TODAY
Every day something specific and practical to try
âIf you are thinking ⌠Try this insteadâ
We help you reframe the problems that come up (feeding your kids is challenging!) into positive approaches you can succeed at

ENCOURAGING NOT JUDGING
Thereâs no one right answer, and every time you try, thatâs progress! We will help you celebrate the wins
OPTIONAL "LATER ON" REINFORCEMENT
The program was originally two messages per day, morning and evening; parents asked for one a day, so we scaled back. But if you want more, throughout the program youâll see links to get to the evening content
ASSESSMENTS FOR WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED
Later in the program, youâll have the opportunity to measure what youâve learned and what you might want to look into further
