Who is this for?
It is for parents of toddlers and children (up to 12 years) who want expert help,
before things become more stressful or more limited.
This may be a good fit if :
Mealtimes feel tense, pressured or exhausting.
There’s regular food refusal or eating only a very small range of “safe” foods
Your child is stuck on processed foods or constantly snacking
- Your child avoids trying foods new foods
This may be a good fit if you:
- Feel unsure how to respond without making things worse
- Want a gentle approach that does not increase stress around food
- Want clear next steps from a specialist; rather than trying lots of tips, with little progress
A gentle, child-centred approach
Healthy eating is a skill, and some children need more support with this than others.
Accepting new foods is often a process, not something that happens automatically, and the goal is to make progress in a way that feels positive, realistic, and manageable for your family.
This approach starts with where your child is now, using foods they already accept, and helps you build from there without pressure or battles at the table.
How the Support Hour works
1. After booking, you’ll receive a 3-day food log to complete before the consultation so we can get a clear picture of your child’s eating patterns.
2. In the session, we’ll talk through what’s happening now and identify gentle, practical, child-centred strategies you can start using straight away.
3. After the consultation, I’ll email you a step-by-step action plan
4. You can email me afterwards, if questions come up
5. Most families then work on the plan over the following 4 to 6 weeks
Your key takeaways
By the end of the Support Hour, you’ll have:
A clearer understanding of your child’s eating challenges.
Practical next steps tailored to your child and family.
More confidence in how to respond at meals and snacks.
A written plan to guide you over the coming weeks
What parents say
Transforming mealtimes for families across Ireland
Based on google reviews, parents describe Growing Healthy Eaters as a warm, professional, evidence‑based service that supports families with their toddlers’ and children’s eating. They value the clear guidance and psychology‑informed strategies they can start using straight away. Many report positive changes within the first month, even after just one session, with children feeling more relaxed, more confident and more positive around food.
Frequently Asked Questions
Many children go through a fussy eating stage, especially in the toddler and preschool years, and this is often a normal part of growing up and becoming more independent.
Recent research shows that more than 1 in 3 Irish children (aged 5–12) are classified as fussy eaters, rejecting many familiar and new foods.
So while fussy eating is very common, if your child is eating only a very small range of foods, avoiding whole food groups, or mealtimes feel very stressful, it may be beneficial to get expert support.
Eating patterns can become unhelpful quite easily, sometimes without parents even realising it.
Yes. The Fussy Eating Support Hour is designed for both toddlers and school-age children (roughly 18 months up to 12 years).
The principles we use are evidence-based and can be tailored to your child’s age, stage, and specific eating challenges.
No. The Fussy Eating Support Hour is primarily for parents and carers. Most families choose to attend without their child.
It’s a parent‑led approach: I work directly with you, the parent. We focus on understanding what’s happening with your child’s eating and then give you practical strategies you can start using at home.
It’s also a child‑centred approach, starting from where your child is currently and how they are eating.
It depends on factors like how long your child has been eating this way, their age, and how limited their eating currently is.
For some families, one session is enough to start seeing changes in mealtimes and their child’s eating, especially for toddlers and for children who have been fussy for a shorter time.
Many parents sign up to a Fussy Eating Support package to understand what’s going on and to receive support over a number of months. This is a gradual, step‑by‑step process that starts with building a strong foundation, before new foods are introduced.
However you can start with one hour and then move to a package (and just pay the balance)
