Get personalized insights and a practical action plan tailored to your family's needs.

How often do you currently serve whole, unprocessed foods (like fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains) to your children?

Rarely—we rely mostly on convenience and processed foods due to time constraints. A few times a week, but we still lean on packaged meals and takeout regularly. Most days, though we occasionally slip into processed options on busy nights. Daily—whole foods are our default, with treats as occasional exceptions.

When your child rejects a new food, what's your typical response?

I stop offering it and stick to foods I know they'll eat. I offer it again occasionally, but don't push too hard if they refuse. I keep serving it alongside familiar foods and explain why it's healthy. I involve them in selecting and preparing the food, then serve it repeatedly without pressure.

How confident are you in understanding your child's specific nutritional needs for their age?

Not confident—I'm often unsure if they're getting what they need. Somewhat confident, but I rely on guesswork and general advice. Fairly confident—I know the basics like protein and calcium, but some details are fuzzy. Very confident—I understand age-appropriate calories, nutrients, and portion sizes.

Do you ever use food (treats or desserts) as a reward for good behaviour or as a consequence for misbehaviour?

Yes, frequently—it's my go-to motivation tool. Yes, occasionally—it works when other methods don't. Rarely—I try to avoid it, but it slips in sometimes. Never—I use other rewards and keep food separate from behaviour management.
