Quiz: Red flags for problematic picky eating

There’s no way to tell the future and know if your child will develop problematic picky eating. But when we look at what problematic picky eaters were like when they were younger, there are some similar elements. Our screener has identified that your child may have one or more of those elements.

When you begin best practices and therapeutic strategies when your child is 0-3, you may be able to quickly address or even prevent the development of problematic picky eating.

So when we see a family who has a child with one or more red flags, it means we want to give them some extra encouragement to do the best practices with some therapeutic elements so that picky eating stays in the “typical” range if possible. If their child’s eating is already outside of the typical range, then we want to get them the tools they need address their child’s picky eating when those tools can work the fastest (0-3 years).

We designed the BetterBites® Picky Eating Program for parents who would like to use best practices and therapeutic techniques for preventing or treating picky eating. It also teaches you how to be less stressed about feeding your child.

This doesn’t mean you can prevent all picky eating with your child. If you intervene now and your child was on the path to becoming a problematic picky eater (where their physical or social development would be affected), they will likely still have some picky eating! But having tools can help you stay chill through the ups and downs of feeding little kids.

*If you suspect your child has a nutritional, medical, developmental or any other problem, we recommend consulting with your child’s qualified healthcare provider.
