Happy Meals for fussy eaters

Stressful mealtimes? Child refusing to eat? Concerned about their nutrition? NHSWI Dietetics can help!

NHSWI Dietetics introduces new pilot project ‘Happy Meals’ and invite all to come along to find out about ideas to make food and mealtimes fun times.

Each Happy Meal session will be lead by a dietician, occupational therapist and speech and language therapist; and their different backgrounds are complemented by a shared knowledge of feeding, and allow you the unique opportunity to benefit from their expertise in an informal setting.

“Fussy eating is a common problem for parents and carers and we want to provide them some ideas to try at home to stop mealtimes turning into battles,” said NHSWI Occupational Therapist Careen Laird.

“Anyone who has concerns relating to their child’s fussy eating is welcome to come along and join us on March 19^th,” she added.

The Happy Meals session will be held on Tuesday, March 19^th, at 10am in the Lewis Retirement Centre, Bayhead, Stornoway.

Initially a pilot project, if successful it is planned to run Happy Meal sessions on a quarterly basis and includes sessions in other areas throughout the Western Isles, subject to demand.
