Felt Safety: A Missing Piece at the Dinner Table

February 25th, 6:30-8:30 pm

It’s easy for grown-ups to forget to prioritize a child’s sense of safety and comfort 
during mealtimes. This talk discusses how providers can prioritize safety and 
connection for children who struggle to enjoy eating. Many practical examples are 
given to help practitioners apply the information to their own practice.
