For education purposes only. Not medical advice.

You've tried everything to get your kid to eat more food... and it's just not working

You have a child who refuses foods that should be simple.
You are tired of making three meals.
You feel the tension rising before dinner even begins.
You want to nourish your child.
You do not want a battle every night.

And no one ever showed you what is actually going on beneath the surface.

Picky eating is not about stubbornness.
It is not about willpower.
It is often about patterns, anxiety, overwhelm, and pressure that build quietly over time.

When you understand that, everything changes.

It's time to talk to an expert.

 Hi, I'm Dr. Wendy 

Pediatrician specializing in the role emotions and relationships play in the health of the entire family
Parenting coach
Founder of Family in Focus

I help parents understand the patterns beneath picky eating,
emotional eating, and food battles.

My work centers on supporting parents first
so change at home becomes easier,
calmer, and grounded in connection.

Inside this free video and guide, you will learn how to:

• Spot the real patterns behind picky eating
• Understand the “emotional temperature” at your table
• Recognize anxiety long before your child melts down
• Lower the pressure so your child feels safer with food
• Ask yourself one question that changes everything at mealtime
• Shift from battles to connection

This is not a list of foods or a “how to get them to eat broccoli” plan.

This is the foundation of helping without harm.

You're tired of fighting over food

This guide is for you if:

• You are exhausted by mealtime battles
• You want to help without pressure or shame
• You have a child who eats “safe foods” only
• You see anxiety creeping into eating
• You want more peace and connection at home
• You want to break the cycle you grew up with

If you want a more connected home where meals feel calmer, you are in the right place.
