Getting children to eat — that is, outside their comfort zone of, say, mac and cheese and ice cream — is a trial for many parents, not to speak of other behavior problems related to food and sitting at the table. Those who have kids on the autism spectrum may face especially tough-to-handle rigid eating habits.

This week on childmind.org ([link removed]) we explore practical strategies for helping kids on the spectrum (and other kids with rigid eating habits) accept a healthy range of foods and reduce conflicts over eating. Understanding what may be behind very picky eating and mealtime tantrums is the starting point for making mealtime a better experience for everyone in the family.
