How Changing Your Mindset Changes Mealtimes
Completely Revised Second Edition
Includes a FREE Companion Workbook with printable exercises to help you apply every chapter to your own family.
If you've read every picky eating book, tried every reward chart, and still find yourself saying...
"Why won't my child just eat?"
...this book was written for you.
Most feeding books teach what to do.
Mealtime Mindset teaches you how to think.
Because after helping families around the world overcome picky eating, food aversions, Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD), and ARFID, pediatric feeding expert Christine Miroddi Yoder discovered something surprising:
The parents who made the fastest progress weren't necessarily using different techniques.
They were seeing mealtimes differently.
Inside, you'll learn the psychology behind successful mealtimes and discover how your expectations, language, emotions, and daily interactions shape your child's relationship with food.
You'll learn how to:
• Build trust instead of pressure
• Replace mealtime battles with connection
• Understand what your child's behavior is really communicating
• Create an environment where curiosity naturally replaces fear
• Help your child build confidence around food—one small win at a time
This isn't a book about forcing one more bite.
It's about creating a child who feels safe enough to want to take the next one.
Whether your child is a picky eater, has sensory feeding challenges, food aversions, PFD, or ARFID, you'll walk away with a completely new way of understanding feeding—one that transforms not only your child's relationship with food, but your own experience as a parent.
Because sometimes the biggest breakthrough doesn't begin with changing your child's plate.
It begins with changing the way you see it.
