# About this event:

If every meal feels like a negotiation, you're not alone.

Picky eating is one of the most common challenges parents face, but it's also one of the most misunderstood. From refusing vegetables and surviving on beige foods to food jags, mealtime meltdowns, and worries about nutrition, it can be hard to know what's developmentally normal—and what actually helps.

Join us for **The Picky Eating Playbook: Practical Strategies That Actually Work**, an honest, evidence-based conversation about raising confident eaters without turning every meal into a battle. We'll explore why picky eating develops, how feeding dynamics shape children's relationship with food, and practical strategies that encourage variety while reducing stress for the whole family.

Moderated by **Sally Aldag**, this conversation features **Shira Sussi, MS, RD, CDN**, pediatric registered dietitian and founder of Shira Sussi Nutrition; **Sari Imberman MS, RDN,** pediatric dietitian, feeding specialist and Founder of Fun with Food, and **Dr. Whitney Casares, MD, MPH, FAAP**, board-certified pediatrician, founder of Modern Mommy Doc, contributor to the Baby Wellness Foundation, and author of _Raising Body-Confident Kids_.

Together, we'll discuss:

- Why picky eating happens (and what's actually normal)
- When parents should—and shouldn't—be concerned
- Reducing mealtime power struggles without pressure, bribery, or short-order cooking
- Helping children become more adventurous eaters
- Supporting healthy growth while lowering parent anxiety
- Building positive mealtime habits that last well beyond the toddler years

Whether your child only eats three foods, refuses anything green, or seems to change their favorite meal every week, you'll leave with practical, evidence-based tools to make mealtimes calmer, more enjoyable, and less stressful for everyone.
