From Picky Eating Battles to Positive Mealtime Relationships, with Polina Shkadron

  • Summary

  • Have you heard of ARFID? It stands for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, which sounds pretty scary. It's basically extremely picky eating, which can lead to poor growth and poor nutrition.

    Today, Polina Shkadron joins us, and she emphasizes that children with ARFID should eat for themselves rather than to please others. Her approach prioritizes family dynamics, fostering trust and self-efficacy by supporting parental instincts and encouraging children to engage mindfully with their food, ultimately promoting healthier eating habits and enhanced family mealtime experiences.

    So how can we do that?
