Mealtimes are about more than nutrition. They are opportunities to build children's confidence, independence, communication skills and healthy relationships with food.
Join experts as they share practical strategies for creating positive mealtime experiences in child care settings. Explore responsive feeding practices, family-style dining, sensory exploration and techniques for building staff support around shared mealtime goals.
You'll gain practical solutions to common challenges such as food refusal, selective eating and sensory differences, while learning how to build support for new practices across your team. Leave ready to create more positive, consistent mealtime experiences that benefit children, families and staff alike.
