Child Feeding Guide

Das Kind Fütterungsanleitung, indem Forscher an der Universität Loughborough

The Child Feeding Guide has been designed by expert feeding researchers at Loughborough University to help parents who want to understand why their child is 'fussy' and what they can do to improve mealtimes. It offers education on the science behind the behaviour, and provides real strategies and tools that can be used to help tackle fussiness in a positive way.

Using the Child Feeding Guide you will be able to:

-Create a profile for you and as many children as required.

-Complete a clinically-validated feeding assessment questionnaire for each child that indicates severity of the feeding problem.

-Complete ratings of wellbeing for you and your child at mealtimes.

-Tracks all responses over time, graphically.

-Read about the five most common feeding pitfalls that parents encounter: what they are, why they happen, and what you can do.

-Use the Exposure Monitor tool to help remember to keep offering less-liked foods – a strategy proven to increase liking and acceptance.

-Read other tips on increasing fruit and vegetable intake.

-Use our awareness exercise to gain insight into how you might be using food in unhealthy ways.

-Read other tips on alternative ways to reward children without using food.
