Mealtimes Were Meltdown Central… Until I Did This
Manage episode 479497081 series 3466210
Feeling like mealtimes are a battlefield? In this episode of the Real Talk With Rhi Podcast, I’m sharing how creating a simple mealtime routine helped our neurodivergent family go from chaos and stress to calmer, more predictable evenings.
With four children with autism and ADHD myself, I’ve faced my fair share of picky eating, sensory overwhelm, and food refusal. I know how exhausting it can feel just trying to get through a meal.
In this episode, I’m walking you through: – Why mealtimes are often so difficult for neurodivergent kids
– The exact routine that helped reduce meltdowns in our home
– How to start gently introducing structure without battles
– Tips for supporting picky eaters without pressure or power struggles
– The small shifts that made a huge difference in our family’s routine
Whether your child eats three different beige foods on rotation or just struggles with the transition to dinner time, I hope this episode gives you some fresh ideas and reassurance that you're not alone.
