A culturally responsive approach to support clients and families from all backgrounds begins with understanding and meeting them where they are. This session explores how responsive feeding practices support family members and young children’s autonomy and self-regulation at mealtimes, and provides practical steps that will help produce culturally responsive treatment recommendations and parent education.
