Marsha Dunn Klein will present the Get Permission Approach to Anxious Eaters, Anxious Mealtimes, a 16.5-hour live online course. We will look at support for extremely picky or anxious eaters and their families from the perspective of relationships, motivation, mealtimes, and opportunities for both parent and child success. This course will be presented in lecture, discussion, video and case presentations, and interactive opportunities. We will answer these questions:
Who are these pickiest of eaters?
Why are they picky?
What is the Get Permission Approach and how can its strategies help?
What do we need to think about as we gather information for assessing and understanding these worried eaters?
What does research tell us about what works and what does not?
How can we help parents understand their worried eaters and what strategies can we use to help build mealtime peace, mealtime success and mealtime enjoyment?

Get Permission is a relationship-based approach used to support families who have children with feeding challenges. In this approach, adults support children to "give permission" by actively building trust between children and their caregivers at mealtimes. Get permission strategies are based on typical development and help children discover their internal drive to eat through appetite, enjoyment, and trusting relationships. Children who participate in feeding therapy using the Get Permission Approach develop the skills, confidence, and internal motivation they need to thrive.
