5 reasons to seek support for your fussy eater

You have a fussy eater in the house and things aren’t great. But your child is still young so you’re hoping it will improve as they age. You/your partner/your friend’s brother was a fussy eater as a child, and they eat well now so they should grow out of it. Shouldn’t they?

Most parents I speak to have been limping for a long time before they get in touch. That makes sense as often just when you feel you should get help your child suddenly eats something new, and you think it’s going to be okay. Or you read about a new strategy that you’re sure will help so defer getting help for a while.

However, even when you know 100% it’s time to get help that often seems insurmountably hard too.

• There isn’t really a lot of choice.
• You are worried that it will be too expensive/time consuming/difficult.
• You may also be secretly concerned your child will be too extreme to benefit.

I would be rich if I had a dollar for every parent who tells me either “I wish I’d found you sooner” or “I wish I’d done something when I first knew things were going wrong”.
