Fussy Eaters

Service Description

Fussy eating can be stressful for the child and the whole family, and there can be lots of underlying reasons why a child may be fussy. Anna takes a holistic approach to working with children and families to support parents to help their children learn to accept new foods, prevent fussy eating from getting worse, ensure adequate nutrition intake, and most importantly reduce stress at mealtimes. An initial appointment will assess overall nutrition intake, any nutrients at risk, growth assessment (weight, height, and growth history), clinical/medical history, mealtime routines, and environment, feeding behaviors and relationships, preferred foods, and mealtime stressors, and then provide specific strategies to help you support your child. A written report and educational materials are included. Rebates: Private health rebates may apply, take your receipt to your provider to check your entitlement amount. Medicare can be accessed with a Chronic Disease Management plan arranged by your GP. It will entitle you to 5 x sessions with Dietetics and a partial rebate (currently $56 back per service).
