We all need to eat to survive. We assume that eating is second nature. But did you know that there are many factors that impact how a person consumes food?  We often hear the term “picky eater,” it’s often just an assumption that this type of behavior goes along with childhood development. But did you know that there is more to this issue than meets the eye? I talked with Jacklyn Penderson, the CEO of Feeding Matters, about a little known disorder called Pediatric Feeding Disorder. If you haven’t ever heard of this you’re not alone. I have worked with many children and adolescents who I can see clearly had this issue, but we never had a good way to screen for it or truly understand it. If you have a child, or know of a family who has children that might be suffering from this little known condition, you will want to listen to this episode.  PFD is a real condition and requires early intervention in order to effectively manage it. I truly was inspired by our conversation and I think you will be too. Learn more about Feeding Matters and follow them on Instagram.
