What Parents Say
I want to say - this $hit WORKS! Now that I have a toddler, I’ve been dabbling in some of your tips - like bringing my kiddo to my lap to eat when he’s refusing his highchair - and HE EATS! When he pushes food away or throws it or shows no interest - I think how I can make it better. Would a dollop of sour cream on top help? AMAZING! I am in awe of this team! —Kara
I just wanted to let you know that my sweet, little son has gone from ONLY eating if spoon-fed and throwing both plate and spoon on the ground if I brought it near him, to being the happiest little eater ever. Not only is he happy to have a plate in front of him but he CANNOT wait to see what is on it when I bring it to the table. Every food is an exciting adventure in his eyes and so as a result, meal time has become this delightful, fun-filled time for me too!! Thank you for the incredible amount of work that you do. —Nichola
I just wanted to say thank you! We had quite a difficult road...lots of meals refused for a year. But this has made me confident in how to handle these moments. Now my daughter is eating so well! It was a long road but we couldn't have done it without you! —Melanie
