Trust at the Table: Ages 0 to 10
$8
Maybe your child eats six foods, all of them beige. Maybe anything new on the plate brings screaming, and dinner ends in tears every night while the grandparents say you're spoiling him. You're worried he isn't getting what he needs, and you're exhausted.
New foods are taught, one small step at a time, and it starts with trust, not bites.
Written by a habilitation specialist with more than twenty years in families' homes, for parents and providers of young children with autism and developmental disabilities, from the high chair through age 10.
