Live Training: Transforming Group Mealtimes: Strategies for Picky Eating & Food Exploration - 5/8/25

Are you looking for ways to help the picky eaters in your classroom? Do you have any students who eat only one or two favorite foods? This course will help you promote food exploration and make the most of group mealtime in your program, whether kids bring food from home, or your program provides food. You’ll see videos of real-world classrooms using family-style dining and learn actionable steps for involving kids in mealtime. We’ll do a deeper dive into picky eating to understand the sensory aspects of food, how predictability impacts kids’ willingness to try to new foods, and how we can modify the way we talk about food to promote healthy eating habits. Using scenarios, you’ll learn strategies to partner with families who have different mealtime practices at home, and how to respond to common challenges like throwing and dumping food. We’ll explore adaptive feeding and seating supplies to successfully include children of all ages and abilities. Whether you are an early childhood educator, a coach, or a parent, this course will provide you with valuable insights and practical tools to foster healthy eating habits, celebrate the small successes, and make mealtimes joyful for young children.
