Mealtimes can be a source of joy, but for some children, they come with stress, worry, or frustration. At Motivate Kids, our Mealtime Therapy Program is designed to grow your confidence in finding the best strategies for you and your family!
Using the evidence-based SOS Approach to Feeding, we support children to explore, play and build a positive relationship with food — all at their own pace.
Our caring therapists will partner with your family every step of the way, ensuring strategies found extend from our kitchen to yours. If mealtimes are a challenge for your child, we’re here to help guide them toward small, meaningful steps that lead to happy, healthy mealtimes!
