Was your child once a good eater, and now they refuse to eat almost anything? This Flash Class is for you. Picky eating typically emerges in the first three years and can quickly turn into a power struggle. You will gain an understanding of why children become picky eaters, how you can prevent these behaviors, and tips for setting mealtime limits.  

Young children have important basic needs to feel secure and they need family life to remain pleasurable in uncertain times.  Participants will be able to:

• Recognize the unique social-emotional needs of young children during stressful times
• Apply parenting strategies that support children to sustain feelings of optimism and security
• Identify realistic self-care practices that are essential to effectively support young children.

Positive routines work because they support child success and are enjoyable. Children learn new routines quickly when you are calm, positive, or playful. Young children thrive with a consistent schedule and take comfort from little rituals they create within a routine. The predictability helps them feel safe and secure which sets the stage for cooperation and connection.

In this class you will:

• Learn strategies to balance self-care and work demands
• Explore ways to create consistency and routine
• Recognize the value of behavioral cues through positive attention

In this class you will explore a basic schedule to start thinking about the order of routines in your home during ‘working hours.’
