0:37 Importance of presentation

• How food looks can really affect whether children want to eat it.

• Using bright colors and fun shapes can make food more interesting.

• Start with small portions so children don’t feel overwhelmed. They can always have more if they’re still hungry.

​

2:04 The effect of colour

• Some children, especially autistic children, might find it hard to eat large amounts at once.

• Offer smaller, manageable portions and let children eat at their own pace.

• Encourage children to listen to their hunger and not force them to finish everything on their plate. This helps build healthier eating habits.

Be kind to yourself: Remember that it’s okay to have challenging days. Celebrate small victories and progress. Being patient and compassionate with yourself is just as important as being kind to your child.
