Join Michelle from STRM Charity to explore why mealtimes can feel difficult and learn how to better support your child at home.
Food accepted one day… refused the next.
Advice that doesn’t seem to work.
It’s not always “fussy eating.”
It can be sensory, anxiety, or how your child experiences food.
💬 Join our online Lunch & Learn: Eating & Neurodivergence
What we’ll cover:
- Why eating feels hard
- Sensory differences & interoception
- Anxiety around food
- Practical strategies that help
- Small steps you can try at home
