The Fussy Eater Reboot-CONFIDENT EATING: A Parenting Plan for Stubborn Picky Eaters - Paperback

by Marie-France Laval (Author)

When food becomes a daily struggle, it is not just about what your child eats. It is about fear, pressure, and a cycle that feels impossible to break.

The Fussy Eater Reboot is a practical, evidence-informed guide for parents of children with fussy eating, ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), and food-related anxiety.

Written by Marie-France Laval, a dietitian and specialist in food-related distress, this book offers a clear, structured approach to help you move from conflict and confusion to calm, confident mealtimes.

This is not another book about getting more vegetables onto the plate.

Instead, you will learn how to:

- Reduce pressure and power struggles at mealtimes

- Understand the role of anxiety, sensory sensitivities, and the nervous system

- Break cycles of avoidance, accommodation, and food refusal

- Support children with ARFID, selective eating, and food fears

- Build structure and confidence around food without force or bribery

Grounded in feeding psychology, behavioural strategies, and real clinical experience, this book gives you the tools to respond differently and effectively to even the most challenging eating situations.

Whether your child eats only a handful of foods, avoids entire food groups, or feels anxious around eating, change is possible.

This is your step-by-step guide to creating calmer, more predictable, and more positive mealtimes for the whole family.
