Is Really Telling You

You Cook. You Plan.
And Your Child Pushes the Plate Away.
You try the new recipe. You hide the veggies. You offer it again. And your child won't eat anything but the same five foods.
Maybe they gag at the sight of something new. Maybe one green bean touching the chicken ruins the whole meal. Maybe their list of "safe foods" keeps getting shorter instead of longer.
And now the holidays are coming. The big family dinners. The crowded tables. The relatives asking, "Why won't she just try it?"
If you're dreading it, you're not alone. And you're not doing anything wrong.
Your child isn't being difficult. Their behavior at the table is trying to tell you something. This workshop will help you understand what, and what to do about it.

What You'll Learn
In 60 minutes, you'll walk away with clarity and a plan:
Picky phase or something more?: The clear signs that separate normal toddler picky eating from feeding struggles that need extra support.
Why eating is a full-sensory experience: How taste, smell, sound, texture, and sight all show up at the table, and why some kids feel it all at full volume.
The hidden connections: How picky eating can travel with ADHD, autism, sensory processing challenges, and low muscle tone, plus the clues to look for outside the kitchen.
The power of the words we use: Why the "picky eater" label can make things worse, and what to say instead.
3 gentle sensory strategies you can start tonight: Simple, no-pressure tools that help children feel safe enough to try new foods.
Your holiday mealtime game plan: How to handle "just one bite" pressure from relatives, prevent sensory overload at big gatherings, and help your child (and you) actually enjoy the holidays.

A Note from Dr. Lum
"I'll be honest with you: I learned one of my biggest lessons about picky eating at my own kitchen table.
I used to call my daughter my "picky eater." I said it to family, to friends, right in front of her. One day, she started saying it about herself. And then she started living it.
She became the label she kept hearing.
As a pediatrician, I knew the science. As a mom, I learned the heart of it. Feeding struggles are never just about food. They're about how a child experiences the world, and how safe they feel at the table.
In this workshop, I'm sharing everything I wish every parent knew, so you can trade mealtime battles for connection."
