Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

My child eats almost nothing. Will this help?
It explains why narrow eating peaks between two and four, what reliably makes it worse, and how many neutral exposures a new food usually needs. It also sets out clearly when narrow eating is worth raising with a professional.
Is this about pretend play or real cooking?
Real work, mostly. Pretend cooking has its place and the guide says where, but the useful thing is a child doing a real job with a real result.
What age is it for?
Eighteen months to five years.
What format is it?
A 14-page PDF, readable on a phone, a tablet or printed.
