Next of Kin The Podcast is back with season 3! I'm your host Emma, a British Expat, Mumpreneur and toddler Mum, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.

This week I am thrilled to have Child Psychologist and picky eating specialist, Jess Alcocer on the podcast! If you too are worried about your fussy-eating toddler, this is the episode for you. I get to ask Jess questions like:

• What are the common problems that parents of toddlers face when it comes to picky eating?
• Is picky eating a phase or can it indicate a deeper issue?
• What are some red flags that might indicate a sensory issue or feeding disorder?
• What are some effective ways to encourage a toddler to try new foods?
• How do you handle a child who refuses to eat anything but a few specific foods?
• Should parents sneak healthy foods into meals, or is that counterproductive?
• How do you approach picky eating differently for neurodivergent children?

And so much more!
