Looking to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in your child's diet? Encouraging them to “DRINK a rainbow” can be a fun technique! I start slowly with my hesitant eaters by making “rainbow water” the 1st step to tasting a NEW flavor. Then I can move on to rainbow smoothies & then fresh fruits, veggies & herbs! To set up this fun activity, you need: 1. Glasses with water 2. Colorful fruits/veggies to represent the rainbow (watermelon, orange, pear & mint) 3. Rainbow colored eyedroppers Colorful Fruit, Rainbow Smoothies, Rainbow Water, Kids Diet, New Flavour, Picky Eaters, Fruits And Vegetables, Incorporate

Do you have a kiddo that needs #sensory support to decrease anxiety at mealtime? Then you are going to LOVE the @ezpzfun Mushroom Sponge because it suctions to the table (or high chair tray)! Clinically, I use it with kids that have tactile defensiveness with new foods or are extremely sensitive to touch. If you have a kiddo struggling with picky eating, it might help them too! #MsDawnSLP #pickyeater #toddler Silicone Material, Food Grade Silicone, Tactile, Meal Time, Odor, Sensory

I had such a great time talking with Jill Castle on her podcast. I shared tips for teaching babies how to eat (and drink) a variety of foods, and we dove deep into developmental milestones too. I also provided my expert tips on picky eating and how parents can quickly “take a step back” and reassess their picky (or sensory) eater. Go listen to her podcast for these tips and more! I can’t wait for you guys to check it out! #MsDawnSLP Teaching Babies, Kids Learning, Slp, Pediatrics, Check It Out

Picky Eater Tips

“Modeling” is an instructional strategy in which a therapist demonstrates a new skill, and the child learns by observing. I take it a step further by allowing the child to practice on me before trying the new skill on themselves. For example, I will “model” how to clear my mouth from pocketed food, then I have the child clear my mouth. THEN we practice having the child perform that skill in their own mouth. This can help decrease anxiety and help the child master the concept. Parent Coaching, Coaching Program, Swallowing Therapy, Sensory Motor, Amazon Live, Instructional Strategies

Want to know how I encourage kids to "beat the heat" in feeding therapy and focus on swallowing? Squirt Guns!!! “Huh?” That’s right! I fill up squirt guns with infused water and squirt my kiddos with it. I also squirt some into my mouth and show them how fun & safe it is. Next thing you know, they’re opening their mouths and just drinking it! It's so much fun! Give this a try and see who the coolest parent on the block is!

Have you seen the Mini Utensils I invented for @ezpzfun? They’re designed for toddlers (12 months+). ⁣Their heads (spoon bowl & fork tines) are made of rigid nylon, making them strong enough for your toddler to scoop + pierce easily! In addition, the soft silicone handle is similar to the Tiny Spoon, which will help your toddler smoothly transition to these larger Mini Utensils. Has your tot transitioned to the Mini Fork and Mini Spoon yet? Fork Tines, Tiny Spoons, Hybrid Design, Soft Silicone, Pierce, Tot, Utensils
