Nutrition Service: Mealtimes are now more enjoyable

The booking process was straightforward and easy to use, and I really appreciated that my son was included in the consultation. It helped him feel heard and understood, rather than feeling like decisions were being made for him.

One of the biggest insights we gained was that we didn’t need to completely overhaul his diet. We discovered there were already many nutritious foods he enjoyed eating, and the focus became providing access to those foods and introducing changes gradually. This made things much more manageable for both of us.

Perhaps the most valuable outcome was improving our relationship with food and mealtimes.

Before the consultation, meals had become stressful, with me feeling pressure to encourage my son to eat certain foods. The advice we received helped us take a step back, create a more positive environment and give him greater autonomy over his food choices. As a result, he is now more willing to eat a wider range of foods, and mealtimes are far more enjoyable.

The nutrition service addressed not only the practical side of nutrition, such as meal ideas and approaches, but also the emotional aspects of food, which are just as important. I would absolutely recommend it to other parents, particularly those with children who are picky eaters. Many people don’t realise these services are available to family members as well, and the support can make a real difference.”
