End Picky Eating Battles Forever!
So that you can finally have a peaceful family meals and focus on connection.
Hey mama, I see you
And I bet you're struggling with.....
- Pleading with your kid just to take one bite of dinner.
- Or maybe you're stuck bribing your child with dessert, just to taste a new food.
- Or pureeing & 'hiding' vegetables in other foods, so your child will eat them.
- You're likely a short-order-cook making multiple meals, so your kids don't starve.
- And you worry that your child isn't getting enough food or nutrients to be healthy.
Meal times that are full of fights, tears and stress for the whole family. You're frustrated & have tried everything.
As a mom of 3 (& 1 former picky eater!) I get it!
I know what you really want is to:
Have a child that eats the amount of food he or she needs to grow well.
Actually enjoy mealtime with your kids and create some good family memories around the table.
Have a child that will be more likely to try new foods or eat their veggies – without you having to beg them!
Stop questioning whether you're failing at feeding your kids.
Finally get rid of fights over food and find more PEACE around the dinner table.
Hi I'm Jen, and I can help you do all of this!
I’m also a Registered Dietitian with a BSc and MSc in nutrition and have operated First Step Nutrition for over 12 years. I’ve authored a book, appeared on local & national media and helped hundreds of clients with feeding their families.
And this is why I created the "End Picky Eating" program. To help moms like you achieve these results too!
My ultimate goal is to help make mealtimes a positive place for everyone, and set your child up to have a life-long positive relationship with food.
