If you’re tackling fussy eating habits this New Year, PaediaSure Shake is here to support you and your child and help get them back on track
· Our 12-Week ‘Back on Track’ Eating Plan, developed by experts, is available at Fussyeaters.co.uk
MAIDENHEAD. 5 January 2015. We know that in an ideal world your little one would happily scoff broccoli and sprouts with gusto and a smile on their face. But we also know that this is the real world and some days just getting your child to eat something green at all can be considered a victory.
If you’ve got a fussy eater, you may be embarking on the New Year with the resolution of getting your child back on track with a healthy attitude towards meal times.
Clinical Psychologist, Dr Netali Levi, who works with children and their families, says: “It's very common for children's routines, for everything from eating and sleeping, to get out of sync after the excitement they've had over Christmas! If you're noticing that things have slipped recently and you'd like to help your child back into a regular eating routine, help and advice is available on Fussyeaters.co.uk.”
Fussyeaters.co.uk offers a wealth of information and free resources for parents to help their child re-establish healthy eating habits, as well as some wise words from real parents who have been through it all before and come out the other side to tell the tale. One of these resources, the 12-Week ‘Back on Track’ Eating Plan, gives detailed weekly step-by-step meal time tips to help encourage a positive relationship with food. Developed in partnership with a Clinical Psychologist and a Nutritionist, the plan offers expert advice for mums.
Each section of the 12-Week ‘Back on Track’ Eating Plan comes with its own achievable goals:
· Weeks 1-4 deal with managing meal times, reducing stress and learning to understand your child’s hunger signals
· Weeks 5-8 focus on healthy food options with top tips on new things to try
· Weeks 9-12 cover establishing fun, positive family meal times and consistently offering new foods
