Pediatrics
How We Can Help
Are you concerned that your child is:
- growing too fast or too slow?
- avoiding essential food groups?
- being teased or body shamed by family members, peers or health care professionals?
- being secretive about eating?
- struggling with nutrition related health issues
- asking to be a vegan or vegetarian
- very stressed during mealtimes
We love working with kids and their family members, pediatricians, counselors and school. We are here to help in whatever way makes the most sense to you and your kid’s individual needs.
We do NOT put kids on diets. We work with the principles of division of responsibility for eating. Caregivers are in charge of what the child eats and the child figures out how much food. To learn more about our approach, take a look at this blog that discusses healthy weights for kids.
Our approach targets behavioral changes in combination with nutrition education which has been proven to be the most effective treatment for pediatric nutrition care. Healthy nutrition is crucial for growing strong, healthy bodies!
