A conversation with my ‘picky eater’
In this session, you will hear me interviewing my daughter, one month after I’ve finished interviewing all the experts.
This will give you the perspective of your child.
Producing this project helped me to understand my daughter better and help us to overcome the challenge we were having around food.
I’ve also attached a PDF with additional questions you can ask your child to establish your connection and a willingness to try new things.
What’s included in the program?
Is Every meal a battle?
And, you constantly get advice like…
“It’s normal, all kids are picky”
“Don’t worry, he’ll outgrow it”
“Just give her more food”
“Just don’t be a short-order-cook and he’ll start eating better”
“Send her to bed hungry, don’t worry she won’t die! She’ll learn to eat when it’s time to eat”
“You need to be more assertive as a parent”
This struggle is Real. Exhausting. Scary.
You have no idea what you’re doing and the worry eats you from inside. You might feel like you’re failing as a parent. You don’t feel successful as a parent and the fear, worry, and guilt leave you feeling hopeless and like it’s all your fault. You might even regret becoming a parent in the first place.
Your child’s pediatrician tells you:
“Your daughter needs more nutrients”
“Your son needs to eat healthier foods”
“Supplement her with Meal Replacement Shakes”
And you’re thinking: “No kidding, but how? My child doesn’t eat anything?!”
This intensifies your fear even more!
What’s the right thing to do?
I know how you feel!
Not too long ago, I was a mom of a ‘picky eater’ too.
My daughter, a healthy baby eater, became an extremely difficult toddler to feed.
She became adamant about food, refused almost everything I offered and became a carboholic.
She wouldn’t sit at the table, had a habit of wasting food, changed her mind frequently and described food as ‘yucky & smelly.’
At some point, she literally lived off of crackers, chips, cheese, cereal, cucumbers and (maybe) apples.
Basically anything white, salty, crunchy or sweet.
As the years went by it had become extremely difficult to feed her and, with time, we’ve noticed that she started to lose weight and, in the words of some concerned family members, became “all bones.”
That’s when we started to worry for REALS.
My husband and I decided to run some tests to see if anything was wrong medically.
As often happens, the doctor assured us that her blood work turned normal and she’s totally fine.
But we knew she wasn’t.
She complained about stomach aches, was constantly fatigued, would lay on the floor, and refused to walk on her feet (we used the stroller until age six!), had dark circles under her eyes. Sometimes she even woke up in the middle of the night with severe pain in her belly, and asked to be fed!
She wasn’t well. We knew it.
Ironically, I’m trained as a nutritionist. It is I who should have the answers to this problem. However, for many years I didn’t.
If you are reading this, your story is likely to be similar to mine.
Your child refuses to eat, is slow to grow and gain weight and/or picks his/her food, maybe the situation is so bad that you have to use a tube to feed your child.
I have been working as a pediatric nutritionist for the past 7 years and have helped families with picky eating with nutritional and parenting support and coaching.
I’ve worked with families and kids who:
- Refused food
- ate only 5 foods,
- are a “nightmare to feed”
- scream and throw tantrums every time they sit to eat.
- at age 2, they still like their food pureed.
- don’t eat any vegetables
- don’t like to sit or even be at the dinner table.
- gag and vomit when eat.
Two things you need to know:
- Your child (or you) isn’t broken/weird/crazy/etc.
- In order to be successful at feeding your child, you must have a mindset shift.
In the process of finding a solution for my own daughter and to help the thousands of parents who’ve approached me over the years, I’ve created a bundle of solid resources to help parents of picky eaters.
I’ve approached world-leading experts who specialize in feeding children and asked them questions on your behalf.
I’ve done this so that you don’t have to go see a million experts and visit different practitioners who will help you to “fix your child”.
Your child is not broken and doesn’t need fixing, all you need to do is change your perspective, learn some practical tools and then implement them with your child.
This interview series is designed to find the root cause of your child’s struggle with food, and provide you with the tools necessary to help him/her.
I’ve interviewed world-leading experts on feeding children, people who I’ve been following for years.
Among them are a nutritionist, occupational therapist, feeding expert, feeding therapist, pediatrician, a DOR expert (from The Ellyn Satter Institute), EQ expert, life coach, a meal plan provider, and someone who specializes in teaching kids to help you cook.
My number one goal with this program is to help you create a solid database of resources, experts, books, programs and tools you can turn to, to help you feed your child with love and good sense.
This program IS for you if:
This program ISN’T for you if:
I personally have learned so much and was happy to see my daughter responding so beautifully to the different strategies I’ve tried and implemented.
If you take the time to listen and then do the work you will see drastic changes in your child’s interest in food. Not just healthy food, I talk about food in general, because I know some children don’t want to eat at all, which makes their parents nervous and anxious.
Feeding our children is ingrained in us and I know how stressful and nerve-wracking it is to have a child who resists and/or rejects food.
Why should you invest in this program?
One study has shown that families with picky eaters are more likely to fight over food, argue, and be too preoccupied with food.
This, in turn, has a negative effect on your relationship with your child and might create a negative vibe between parents.
Moreover, studies show that picky eating gets worse if not addressed in time. It’s best to solve this problem while kids are still young. The younger your child, the better.
Imagine:
Who am I and why should you listen to me?
If we haven’t met yet, – my name is Dorit Palvanov, I’m a wife, and a mom of three kids.
I am a registered holistic nutritionist and host of the show – Confident, Energized and Sexy Mama, a weekly podcast for moms who are ready to thrive as women, wives and mothers.
I’ve helped thousands of parents provide better food options with love and good sense through online resources, feeding programs and one-on-one coaching.
I’ve created this program first and foremost for myself.
There was a time when our daughter became extremely difficult to feed. She resisted everything I offered! I felt hopeless, weak and unsuccessful as a mother.
This has negatively impacted our relationship so much that I’ve begun resenting my own child!
It was hard, uninspiring and painful to see my child being more in control than I was.
This is not how I envisioned motherhood to be.
I was looking for solutions for my own child’s picky eating problem.
In my search, I’ve connected with many experts in the field of nutrition and child feeding.
What I have found was transformational for my own family.
So eventually I invited the experts to share their knowledge and strategies with you!
As a podcast host for the past 2.5 years, I see the power of interviews! Research shows that listening to interviews (or eavesdropping) is a much better way to learn and retain information!
Before you spend hundreds (or thousands) on private consultations, consider investing in this program.
For $47 you get access to all 11 interviews.
What will happen if you don’t buy this program?
Like I mentioned previously, Picky Eating becomes a more serious problem if ignored. The sooner you take action against it, the faster you’ll be able to eliminate this struggle and enjoy your child.
Also, you won’t have to go through the struggles I went through in order to help your child become a healthier eater. I wish there was a program like this when I was struggling.
This program is well rounded, balanced and holistic in terms of the advice and knowledge you’re going to gain from it. There’s nothing like it out there!
