The Picky Eater Turnaround by Naomi Clarke Bishop

If every meal feels like a negotiation—or a battle—you're not failing, and you're not alone. The Picky Eater Turnaround is a warm, evidence-informed guide that replaces guilt and pressure with a calm, practical roadmap. Drawing on developmental science and real-world parenting wisdom, Naomi Clarke Bishop shows you how to understand what's really behind your child's refusal, from normal neophobia to sensory sensitivities, and how to respond without fights, bribes, or short-order cooking. You'll learn how to set up mealtimes for success, apply the division of responsibility with confidence, and gently expand your child's palate over time—without turning the table into a pressure cooker. Packed with scripts, sample routines, age-by-age strategies, and clear guidance on when to seek professional help, this book meets you where you are and helps you move forward one meal at a time.
