5 FREE FEEDING THERAPIST SCRIPTS
Know what to say...
when your picky eater refuses dinner.
You don't need more pressure.
You don't need another food list.
You need words that reduce pressure—and help you understand what your child may be communicating.
Download five practical scripts from a pediatric feeding therapist to help you respond calmly, hold clear boundaries, and feel more confident at the table.
✓ Respond without pressure
✓ Hold boundaries calmly
✓ Understand WHY they work
You know the moment.
Dinner is ready. Your child looks at the plate and says...
"I'm not eating that."
Suddenly your mind starts racing.
Should I ask for one bite?
Should I make something different?
Should I let it go?
You're not failing. You're trying to respond to a difficult moment without having been given a way to understand what's happening.
Most feeding advice teaches parents what to do.
We help parents understand WHY.
Because when you understand what's happening beneath picky eating...
you stop guessing.
You respond with confidence.
Consistency becomes easier.
And that's where lasting change begins.
When these moments happen...
"I'm full."
When your child says they're finished after just a few bites.
"I want something else."
When your child asks for another meal instead of what's on the table.
Snack after dinner
When dinner is over... but suddenly they're hungry for snacks.
Mealtime meldown
When emotions take over and dinner starts falling apart.
Repair after frustration
When dinner doesn't go the way you hoped- and you want to reconnect.
Because parents don't think:
"I need five scripts."
They think:
"What do I say when my child says they're full?"
Every script includes:
✔ Exactly what to say.
✔ Why it works
Because memorizing words isn't enough.
Understanding creates confidence.
The goal isn't the perfect sentence.
The goal is helping your child experience you as calm, clear, and consistent.
The exact words may change, but the message stays the same.
"I will hold the boundary."
"I trust your body."
"I'm here to help."
That's where lasting change begins.
After you add your text and image in the "Content" tab, you can customize the layout of your section in the "Design" tab. Images can be beside, above, or below your text.
Hi, I'm Kristin
I'm a pediatric occupational therapist, feeding therapist, author, and mom.
For more than 15 years I've helped families navigate picky eating, developmental differences, and mealtime stress.
But I'm also a mom. I know what it's like to stand in your own kitchen wondering, "What should I do now?"
That's why I created this guide. I can't wait to work with you!
