About this course
A child who eats only beige food, or only one brand of chicken nugget, or nothing at all during the school day, often gets called a fussy eater. Sometimes it's ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder), a diagnosis that has only existed since 2013 and is still widely misunderstood.
A clinical psychologist from a hospital feeding and eating disorder service explains what drives it: little interest in food, strong reactions to smell or texture, or fear of choking or being sick. Knowing which applies changes what helps. You'll learn small steps that take the pressure off, like always having a preferred food on the plate, a tasting bowl on the side, and food chaining from one familiar food to the next.
For schools there are simple changes too, like a quieter place to eat at lunch or letting a child bring their own cutlery.
