Picky to Playful is a research-backed feeding workshop designed to help children build positive, pressure-free relationships with food. Picky to Playful is a hands-on, research-backed feeding workshop that helps children move from selective eating to confident food exploration. Rooted in evidence-based approaches (including principles from programs like The Dr. Yum Project), this group focuses on reducing mealtime pressure while increasing comfort, curiosity, and variety. Through guided sensory play, food exploration, and caregiver coaching, children learn to interact with new foods in a low-pressure, supportive environment. Parents leave with practical strategies to implement at home—so progress doesn’t stop at the table. Each session introduces a new food and simple recipe, helping families build skills over time in a fun, community-based setting.
