Help for Parents of Picky Eaters
September 6, 2022
Tired of mealtime battles and feeling stuck serving chicken nuggets and hotdogs? In this episode, feeding therapist Dr. Kay Toomey shares wisdom about how to address picky eating by looking at the eating process in a whole new way.
Dr. Kay Toomey is a Pediatric Psychologist who has worked with children who don’t eat for almost 35 years.  She has developed the SOS Approach to Feeding as a family-centered program for assessing and treating children with feeding problems.  Dr. Toomey speaks nationally and internationally about her approach.  Dr. Toomey helped to form The Children’s Hospital – Denver’s Pediatric Oral Feeding Clinic, as well as the Rose Medical Center’s Pediatric Feeding Center.  To learn more about Dr. Toomey's programs, go to sosapproachtofeeding.com.

Helpful resources mentioned in the interview include the "Picky Eater vs. Problem Feeder" questionnaire, the 2-hour workshop for parents, and an additional website feedingmatters.org.
