Developmentally Appropriate Mealtimes

Description

Mealtimes-whether pleasant or stressful--occupy a sizable portion of a family's day. This presentation will focus on the development of the early feeding relationship and the impact of family dynamics and other factors on mealtime routines. Challenging mealtime behaviors will be discussed as well as how to determine when a referral for feeding therapy should be made. The training will also provide strategies of clinicians to help parents create more optimal feeding relationships with their children.
