Navigating Parties, BBQs, and Picky Eating Moments

Hosted by:

Fun with Food

The group chat summary

Summer parties, BBQs, and birthday celebrations can bring up a lot of stress around food - especially when kids seem to survive on chips, cupcakes, and watermelon alone. In this reassuring workshop, pediatric dietitian Sari Imberman shared practical ways to navigate social events with less pressure, more flexibility, and a focus on the long game when it comes to feeding kids.

Why party eating feels so different

• Parties are a “perfect storm” of excitement, distraction, noise, and less structure
• Kids naturally gravitate toward familiar and highly preferred foods in chaotic environments
• Eating differently at events does not mean your child is suddenly a picky eater
• One party or BBQ does not define your child’s overall eating
