What If Your Child Ate 20 New Foods This Summer?

School is over. Summer is here. And if you're like most parents of a picky eater, you're hoping this will finally be the season things get better.

We'll also talk about: Why summer is the perfect time to rebuild your child's relationship with food The hidden parent-child-food dynamic keeping many families stuck How curiosity and connection create more progress than pressure and rewards What feeding success actually looks like Simple ways to create positive food experiences this summer Plus, I'm introducing the FREE Summer of Good Food Challenge—a simple, fun way to help your child build confidence around food while creating positive family memories along the way.
