Food Therapy in Food Selectivity with a Transdisciplinary Approach Based on Respect

Feeding therapy for food selectivity requires a careful and transdisciplinary approach, guided by four essential premises: respect, monitoring, positivity and understanding. When working on introducing new foods into a child's menu, it is essential to consider both the characteristics of the food and those of the child. Understanding the reasons behind each resistance is crucial to avoid mistakes that could worsen the problem or create new challenges.

Effective feeding therapy goes beyond nutritional techniques, being affectionate and intentionally using play to teach new eating skills. In this module, you will learn the importance of each step of the process and how to build a respectful and effective therapeutic plan that promotes a positive change in the child's eating behavior.
