Hi everyone,

If you had to choose just one thing that makes mealtimes the hardest in your home, what would it be?

It could be anything: food refusal, limited safe foods, worrying about nutrition, preparing different meals, school lunches, or something completely different.
I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences.

I work with neurodivergent children, and one thing I've learnt is that every family has such a different experience when it comes to food and mealtimes. While I see things through work, I know parents and carers live these experiences every day, and I'm always trying to learn more so I can better support the children and families I work with.

Thank you. ❤️
