You've wondered, "Is this normal?"
But how do you know when picky eating is just a phase — and when it's something more?
Join pediatric occupational therapist, parent coach, and founder of KAVANA Parenting, Nechama (Nikki) Rotshtein, OTR/L, together with feeding and swallowing specialist Esther Verbovszky, M.A., CCC-SLP, for the first evening in our new monthly "Is This Normal?" Parent Q&A Series.
Whether you're dealing with picky eating, mealtime battles, sensory concerns, or simply wondering if your child is getting enough nutrition, you'll leave with a better understanding of what's typical, what deserves a closer look, and what your next step should be.
And along the way, you'll likely walk away with a few practical tools you can begin using right away.
This Month's Focus: Feeding Concerns
We'll discuss:
✅ Why some children only eat certain foods
✅ How to know whether picky eating is developmentally typical
✅ When feeding challenges may be related to sensory, oral-motor, or other underlying concerns
✅ How to reduce mealtime stress and pressure
✅ What foods to introduce—and when
✅ When it may be time to seek additional support
This webinar is for parents who are wondering...
"Why is my child so picky?"
"Should I be worried about how little they eat?"
"Is my child getting enough nutrition?"
"Should I keep offering new foods?"
"Could this be related to sensory issues?"
"Will they outgrow this?"
"How can I make mealtimes less stressful?"

You’ve heard about the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)… but what is it, really?
Join pediatric occupational therapist and founder of KAVANA PARENTING, Nechama (Nikki) Rotshtein, OTR/L for a free educational evening that separates fact from fiction and answers the questions parents are asking.
Whether you’re simply curious or wondering if SSP could be the missing piece for your child (or even yourself), you’ll leave with a clear understanding of what it is, how it works, and whether it’s worth exploring.
What You’ll Learn:
What the Safe and Sound Protocol actually is
How regulation affects behavior, learning, and emotional well-being
What “fight, flight, or freeze/shutdown” has to do with everyday parenting challenges
Who SSP may help—and who it may not
What to expect during the program
This webinar is for parents who are wondering…
“I’ve tried everything… why isn’t anything working?”
“Will SSP help my child’s anxiety, sensory challenges, ADHD, or autism?”
“Is it really just listening to music?”
“Is there research behind it?”
“Can it really be done virtually?”
“Can parents benefit from SSP too?”
