This group is designed for children ages 5 to 8 years who are hesitant or resistant to trying new foods. The goal of this program is to expose children to new foods and allow them to explore these foods.
The children will become food detectives and be provided with a food ‘toolbox’ that they can use at home when interacting with new foods. The family will be required to complete an at-home ‘food mission’ each week.
Parents are required to attend 3 one-hour parent education sessions which will be held at the same time as the child group sessions. Information from the parent session builds on the previous sessions.
It is ideal but not mandatory that the same parent or guardian attend all 3 sessions.
In addition, please arrive 5 minutes prior to the end of the session to touch base with the clinician regarding the weekly food mission. Parents are welcome to stay and observe all sessions.
