Transforming Mealtimes: The Table Talk Approach

At Table Talk, we're passionate about transforming mealtimes into a stress-free, enjoyable experience for Kiwi families.

Our approach revolves around empowering children to make their own food choices, inspired by the principles of responsive feeding.

This method is about creating a safe, supportive environment where tamariki can explore different kai at their own pace, as illustrated in the informative infographic from the Chicago Feeding Group. I highly recommend checking this out here. 

Imagine mealtimes where your child decides what to eat and how much, guided gently by your support. We encourage parents to observe and respond to their child's cues – whether it's excitement about a new food or signals that they've had enough.

Why do we advocate for this approach?

Because it fosters trust between whānau and children, promotes healthier eating habits, and reduces mealtime battles. It's not just about what's on the plate but the positive interactions and conversations shared around the table.
