Episode #92 Meeting Kids Where They Are: picky eaters, Sensory Eating, and Nervous System Safety with Dr. Kimberly Spair
We're joined again by Dr. Kimberly Sparr — founder of DKS Institute for Holistic Wellness and a practitioner of holistic wellness for women, children, and pregnancy, as well as a feeding specialist and speech pathologist — for a conversation on picky eating, sensory eating, and why so many mealtime struggles are really nervous system struggles in disguise. Kimberly walks us through her approach to feeding therapy, why "just make them eat it" misses the real root cause, and how heavy metals, oral motor development, and fear can all show up at the dinner table. We talk about regulating our own nervous systems as parents before we can help our kids regulate theirs, how to bridge picky eaters toward healing foods one small step at a time, and how to prepare kids for eating out in the world as they grow into more independence.
