  2. 10 tips to take a Fussy Eater out to Restaurants "No, you cannot have chips again, it is not healthy. Why don't you choose something else from the menu? We are at a restaurant, try something new. All right, enough, we will just order some chips! Just sit down for a minute!" Embrace eating out Going out to a restaurant with children, even if they are fussy eaters, should not be a chore or a stressful event. What if you chose to embrace eating out and reap the benefits, including educational ones, in the long term? In restaurants families will: 1. Enjoy a moment eating in a different setting (including unfamiliar surroundings) 2. Strengthen family bond 3. Engage in conversation 4. Learn to adjust behaviour in public spaces 5. Be exposed to and eventually taste different foods 6. Feel special Call: 0421 843 038 for your FREE 15 minute assessment www.fussyeater.com.au Call: 0421 843 038

  3. If you children are young and not too entrenched in their eating 1. Choose your restaurant wisely. Kristy of Kids out for dinner has been listing restaurants that are children friendly here. 2. Spell your expectations clearly before going out: we will go to this restaurant...I expect that you will love it/sit well/behave. It's always easier if your kids know what is happening next. 3. Be reassuring to the anxious children: "the food is delicious I hear", "I will order something you will love". 4. Time the meal so children are rested and hungry when food arrives, but not exhausted, famished and hysterical. 5. Bring pencils and paper for before and after meal, a patience building exercise. www.fussyeater.com.au Call: 0421 843 038

  4. If you children are young and not too entrenched in their eating 6. Select from the menu: small children have simply no knowledge about food. Choose a combination of liked and less known food. For example, your child likes rice, choose a risotto. These days, children's menus are evolving away from the cheap and nasty, but you may also order an adult dish to share between children. 7. Give limited choice to children: you can have this "risotto or this pasta" still enables them to have a say but you are providing structure. 8. Organise a monthly visit to a surprise restaurant, where everyone picks a dish to share and takes turn to taste. Then rate your dishes and your restaurants. A family I worked with did this successfully here. www.fussyeater.com.au Call: 0421 843 038

  5. If your child is an extreme fussy eater and all of the above appears impossible. 9. Try a buffet type of restaurant where kids can assemble foods that they are comfortable with. Alternatively order something they can work with, for example, your child only eats white rice: order Cantonese rice and ask your child to do the sorting out. It challenges and exposes your child without putting pressure to eat the offending foods. 10. Choose a restaurant where children can be exposed to foods, but not have to eat them. Open kitchens, bar sitting can provide children an opportunity to watch chefs and cooks put together beautiful dishes. Interactive type of restaurants: Korean barbecue, Japanese Teppanyaki or this restaurant where kids can make their own pizza, somehow involve customers in choosing their food with their senses. www.fussyeater.com.au Call: 0421 843 038

  6. About Us Issues arising around eating are numerous and may trigger unwarranted stress. Difficulties with fussy eating, confusion around nutrition, demonisation of food and goal settings on size and health, can further impair parents' ability to know what to do and how to do it. Fussy Eater Solutions' philosophy is to be inclusive of your eating culture, personal beliefs, and financial situation. We work together, either through workshops or individual appointments, to help children find pleasure, confidence, and mindfulness in eating. www.fussyeater.com.au Call: 0421 843 038
