Children do the how much and whether of eating – from what parents offer.”

DINNER TOGETHER ASSESSMENT

The low cost Dinner Together Assessment will give you a clear understanding of what’s getting in the way of you achieving your goals of having enjoyable family meals and raising successful eaters.

Are you struggling to pull satisfying meals together for your family? Are you overwhelmed with the thought of trying to plan and cook meals? Are you tired of dealing with your picky eaters? Is your children’s behavior making family meals unpleasant?

The Dinner Together Assessment involves you completing a written questionnaire examining your family’s current mealtime habits and behaviors as well as your own cooking style. After you complete the written assessment, we will arrange for a 30 minute phone consultation to identify possible solutions for your family and discuss areas where you can grow, build on your strengths, and start down the road for more successful family meals.

INDIVIDUAL PHONE CONSULTATIONS

More in-depth phone consultations beyond the assessment level are available to assist in you in acquiring skills and strategies to help you achieve your goals. Depending on your needs, plans will be developed for improving your own meal organization and coordination as well as for improving your children’s eating habits and behaviors. The focus is on enhancing your family meal success and providing you with resources to help make family meals positive and raise healthy eaters.

Each phone consultation is 45 minutes. Click here to arrange a convenient time for your session.
