About
The Parent, Play, Eat! (PPE) food group is facilitated by Theraplay's licensed therapists and is kept small to ensure you and your little one gets personalised attention. This means that Theraplay can accommodate to your child's personal needs and provide individualised suggestions for success at home.
This 6 session programme will be targeting fundamental food exploration skills to support the development of a palate that is varied in food, flavour and texture. The aim of the programme is to:
- experience sensory strategies that support calming the nervous system to prepare for mealtime
- encourage your child to develop a positive relationship with a variety of foods
- provide caregivers with the knowledge of varied feeding approaches
- empower caregivers to setup mealtime routines for success
- provide caregivers with the knowledge of what factors can influence picky eating
A caregiver is required to be present with the child for all sessions. The first session is a caregiver only session to review feeding framework and expectations of the group. Handouts and resources will be provided to be able to refer back to. Food will be provided for sessions 2-6 however it will be required to provide some food safe options for your child as well (foods your child is guaranteed to eat). This PPE programme runs periodically throughout the year and is covered by some insurances.
