Feeding children can very challenging for parents when their child is a picky eater or a problematic feeder. You may have tried everything from bribing to pleading with your child to eat their food. Have you considered using books as a helpful tool?

Reading books to children about picky eating and feeding problem can have a lot of positive benefits.

When we read books to children about picky eating and feeding problems it helps them understand and relate to the issue. Many children struggle with picky eating due to sensory processing issues. This can lead to a aversions to different foods that cause meltdowns at the dinner table. This can be very stressful for parents and their children.

When we read books to children about something they can relate to like picky eating or eating difficulties, they see that they're not alone with their challenges. They may also start to understand why they feel a certain way about food, eating and that it's not their fault. Reading this books can help a child build empathy and self-awareness and these are important skills for a child to develop.

Picky eating and feeding problems books are usually about feeding solutions and different ways to cope with eating and trying new foods. This approach makes it easier for a child to understand and relate. These can be valuable tools for parents looking for new ways to approach mealtime with their children. These books will sometimes suggest different ways to gradually introduce new foods or how to make mealtime more fun and engaging for picky eaters.
