For children
We work with babies, children, and teenagers (0 to 18 years), and their families, to build eating and feeding skills. This is important for growth and learning.
These skills help create positive mealtimes for families, and support health and wellbeing in later life.
We will start with an appointment with you and your child to assess their feeding skills and nutrition needs. We will work together to find practical food ideas, and to understand the factors influencing your child’s feeding, eating, and experiences with food .
We work closely with other child and family service providers to promote nutrition and feeding goals for your child’s overall growth and development.
Other helpful resources:
- Information about the roles of parents and children at mealtimes
- Healthy lunchbox tips: Pick and mix lunchbox poster
