Dear Parent: Navigating Challenging Mealtimes with Anxious Eaters

Marsha will discuss the importance of strong and trusting relationships, providing appropriate opportunities for children to learn about food, support a child’s internal motivation to eat, and eliminate pressure at mealtimes. Join us to learn more about how to help your family find mealtime peace and enjoyment.
