Parent Strategy Sessions:
For Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), Feeding Difficulties and Food Anxiety
These sessions aren't about finding fault. They're about understanding patterns, strengthening connection and helping families feel more confident and supported.

Worried your child’s safe food list keeps shrinking?
Children with Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), sensory sensitivities, food anxiety and restrictive eating often feel overwhelmed when the focus is placed directly on changing their eating.
Sometimes, the most effective place to start is by supporting parents and caregivers first.
Suitable for parents of children and adolescents experiencing:
-
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
-
extreme fussy eating
-
sensory-based feeding difficulties
-
mealtime distress
-
restrictive eating patterns
-
food anxiety
-
neurodivergent-related eating challenges

Rather than focusing on blame, these sessions focus on understanding patterns, strengthening connection, and helping families feel more equipped and supported.
