How to Un Picky Your Picky Eater (Christine Miroddi Yoder)

Today, we explore the significance of a balanced diet for children's development, using the analogy of building a house to describe the roles of macronutrients and micronutrients. We delve into how picky eaters often miss out on crucial nutrients and I highlight the potential health issues arising from these deficiencies. We also discuss alternative sources for these nutrients, particularly emphasizing the benefits of non-dairy calcium sources.

For parents uncertain about their child's dietary needs, our special course offers personalized reports and actionable advice tailored to address specific nutritional gaps, ensuring that children receive the necessary building blocks for healthy growth.

If you’re unsure what specific nutrients your child is missing, join our course! You'll receive a tailored report detailing what’s lacking in your child’s diet and practical advice on how to incorporate these essential nutrients effectively. This isn't general advice; it's customized specifically for your child!

By understanding and addressing these dietary gaps, you can help ensure your child develops healthily and happily. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for more insightful episodes on nurturing your child’s health through better nutrition.

In this episode, I lay it all out on the table – no pun intended – about why parents are the true MVPs in the battle against picky eating. Sure, we love our feeding therapists, dieticians, OTs, and psychologists (they all have their time to shine), but let's get real about who holds the magic wand when it comes to transforming your little one's eating habits – hint: it's you! 🌈

I get it – many parents worry that their kids "won't do it for them" and seem to miraculously behave better when another adult steps in. But let's dig deeper. Why is there a struggle in that dynamic? That's where I step in to help you decode the mystery and repair the sometimes-broken relationship between your child, food, and, most importantly, YOU.

Outsourcing the help is like taking the scenic route when you could be cruising on the expressway. I break down why taking the reins as a parent can fast-track the transformation and save you precious time. 🚀

In this latest episode, I spill the beans on why I've declared a mission to make my child less picky this year. You know the drill – the struggle is real when your little one has opinions about the presentation of their meals that rival a seasoned food critic! 🍽️

While my kiddo has made some impressive strides in the culinary adventure department, there's still that lingering resistance when it comes to embracing the unfamiliar. And let's be real – I get it! I mean, who can blame them for having strong feelings about the arrangement of peas on their plate?

The main culprit in my quest for foodie flexibility? Picture this: Envisioning a family dinner without the mental gymnastics of predicting which restaurants will meet the "presentation standards" – pure bliss, right? 🌍

I spill the beans on my not-so-perfect moments and share some strategies I'm planning to implement to up my parenting game. After all, we're all in this together, navigating the unpredictable waters of parenting with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of trial and error. 🚀

So, if you're up for some real talk about the joys (and challenges) of expanding a little one's culinary horizons, grab your favorite snack and tune in! Your fellow parent-in-crime is here, fumbling through it just like you. 🎧

I feel like knowledge is power and I want my families to be empowered to make the best choices for their families. To do that, it's helpful to learn information! I am putting links to things I referenced in the podcast episode today.

In this episode I go into the importance of detoxing-- especially for picky eaters! So often our picky eaters LOVE to eat processed foods and fast foods (also processed usually).

Have NO fear! I go over 7-- actually 8! EASY PEASY ways to detox using no more effort than you are right now. These don't require them to eat certain foods and I promise all your picky eaters out there will be able to do these 7 things! Check out this week's episode to learn more! You don't want to miss this one! It will benefit your ENTIRE family's health!

In this episode, we talk about why eating a variety of foods is just like using many colors to make a beautiful painting. Just as a painter uses different colors to make their painting special, we need different kinds of foods to keep our bodies healthy and strong. We look at how eating many types of foods helps us get all the good stuff our bodies need, like vitamins and minerals that help us fight off germs, keep our guts healthy, and make us feel good. For example, eating foods like oranges and carrots that are full of vitamins can help keep our immune system strong, which means we can fight off colds better.

In this episode of How To Unpicky Your Picky Eater, Christine Miroddi Yoder, a speech pathologist and holistic feeding therapist, dives into the topic of picky eating to help parents understand what is considered normal and when they should be concerned. Christine explains that while some picky eating phases are typical during certain developmental stages, there are key differences between a normal picky eater and a problem feeder. She shares insights on the characteristics of normal picky eating, such as accepting a variety of foods and lacking fear around eating, as well as red flags that indicate more serious feeding issues, like severe food refusal and a limited range of acceptable foods.

Christine emphasizes the importance of seeking early intervention if a child is showing signs of being a problem feeder, noting that children with fewer preferred foods often require longer and more intensive therapy. She advises parents to be cautious of generalized advice and to seek support from professionals who consider the whole child, including their sensory and oral motor skills, as well as their nutritional needs. By understanding the distinctions between normal picky eating and more serious feeding issues, parents can make informed decisions and take appropriate actions to support their child's development and well-being.

In today's episode, we're diving into the fascinating and important topic of the connection between picky eating and autism.

In this episode, Christine Miroddi Yoder explores whether picky eating can be prevented, highlighting the difference between typical developmental picky eating phases and more severe food aversions. She explains that while some degree of picky eating is normal at certain ages, severe picky eaters often have underlying issues that need to be addressed. Christine emphasizes the importance of introducing whole foods early, avoiding processed foods, and exposing children to a variety of flavors to promote healthy eating habits and strengthen jaw muscles.

If your child is fearful of food and has a very limited diet, it's crucial to address these issues early on. Our specialized programs can help you identify and tackle the root causes of your child's food aversions.

In this episode, we'll explore a common myth that kids will eventually eat when they’re hungry enough. The truth is, fear can be a powerful barrier that prevents children from eating, even when they are genuinely hungry. Whether it's the texture, smell, or even the sight of a new food, these fears can override their natural hunger cues, leading to mealtime struggles. Understanding this can help parents approach feeding with more empathy and effective strategies, ensuring their child feels safe and supported.

In this episode, we delve into the concept of food chaining, a method used to introduce new foods to picky eaters by connecting them with familiar favorites. While this technique can be effective, the biggest mistake parents make is choosing new foods without considering their child’s unique sensory profile. Each child has specific sensory preferences and aversions that heavily influence their willingness to try new foods. Ignoring these sensory factors can lead to more resistance and stress during mealtimes, making it harder to expand your child's diet.

In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked aspect of parent training in picky eating therapies. While many therapies focus solely on the child, they frequently miss the critical role parents play in fostering positive feeding habits. Without proper guidance, parents might struggle to implement effective strategies at home, potentially hindering their child's progress. This discussion highlights the importance of equipping parents with the necessary tools and knowledge to support their child's journey toward a healthier relationship with food.

In this episode, we're diving into four common mistakes parents make when trying to improve their child's relationship with food. These mistakes, although easy to make, can sometimes make things worse. Join us as we explore how pressure to eat, offering too many choices, ignoring sensory and oral motor needs, and using food as a reward or punishment can negatively impact a child’s eating habits. Learn why these approaches often backfire and discover practical strategies to create a positive mealtime environment without inadvertently adding stress or pressure. We'll share insights on how to better understand your child’s unique sensory and oral motor needs and discuss why fostering an intrinsic love for food is crucial. If you're looking to transform mealtime and help your child develop a healthier relationship with food, this episode is a must-listen! Plus, don't miss out on our special quiz to better understand your child's feeding profile. Tune in now!

In today's episode, we dive into a recent study on twins and picky eating, exploring whether picky eating is influenced more by genetics (nature) or by environment (nurture). The study suggests that genetics play a significant role in picky eating, with individual differences being 75-80% attributed to genetic factors. However, I discuss some limitations. Join me as I break down what this study means, and it's potential impacts!

In this episode, Christine Miroddi Yoder addresses the concern many parents have about whether their picky eater will starve if they refuse to eat. She explains that while children who eat a limited variety of foods may not starve, they can become nutritionally deficient, which can lead to various health issues. True starvation concerns usually arise when a child refuses all foods, often due to fear or anxiety related to a traumatic event like choking. Christine emphasizes that if a child hasn't eaten or drunk anything for 24 hours, it's crucial to contact a pediatrician. For fearful eaters, addressing anxiety and the four pillars of feeding—sensory system, oral motor skills, and mindset—is essential to help them build a positive relationship with food.

In this episode, Christine Miroddi Yoder dives into the concept of sensory play and how it can help children progress from being fearful eaters to more adventurous foodies. She discusses sensory processing and the importance of understanding a child's unique sensory profile across eight different areas. Christine emphasizes that sensory play is just one of the four pillars of feeding, alongside the gut, oral motor, and mindset, and that focusing solely on sensory play may not be sufficient for some children. She provides practical tips for incorporating texture exploration and play with food, highlighting the significance of non-pressure, gradual exposure, and building trust with food, much like making a new friend.

In this episode, we sit down with Jaclyn Pederson, CEO of Feeding Matters and a dedicated mom, to dive deep into the world of pediatric feeding disorders.

We discuss the obstacles that parents encounter—from finding accurate information and financial support to addressing the complexity of feeding. Jaclyn sheds light on the gaps in regulations, awareness, and resources that make feeding challenges even harder circumstances. Join us for an eye-opening conversation about advocacy, resilience, and what it takes to create meaningful change for families facing pediatric feeding disorders.
