The Feeding Clinic
 This
new service offered to our patients is
jointly led by a Dietitian
and Clinical
Psychologist and
aims to ease feeding
and mealtime
issues.
An initial assessment will identify
the problem areas and provide
parents
with the tools to help their child feel
confident about new and familiar foods.
Recommended follow-up sessions may include
a
mealtime observation conducted at home,
a fun ”food challenge” for
the child,
a child anxiety management session or
participation in “Food Fun” sessions
for children.
All are aimed to take away the fear,
stress and pressure often associated
with mealtimes.
Ultimately we want to
put some excitement, fun, discovery and
enjoyment back into eating and food for
the whole family! Our Feeding Clinic
is aimed at parents and children aged
from 2 years onwards.
For further details or to find out if
this service would benefit your family

of children who are fussy or faddy

Shona Lowes, to understand more about
fussy eaters and extreme food refusal

Food Fun – 3 sessions for children
These sessions are conducted by both
the Dietitian and Clinical Psychologist
and focus on presenting different foods
to children in a fun and relaxed way,
using stories, games and activities
involving food. During these sessions
there is no pressure for the child
to put food in their mouths or to eat;
the main goal is to have fun with food.
Sessions may be with groups of children
of a similar age and for younger children
the sessions will be for children and
parents together.
Saturday mornings 9-10am:
June 5th, 12th, and 19th 2010

Low GI Cooking
 GI
is short for Glycaemic Index. Research
shows that eating foods with a low
GI can have a number of benefits to
your health.
- Low GI diets are more effective
at promoting weight loss than
conventional weight loss diets
- Eating a low GI diet can improve
blood sugar control in people
with
diabetes and improve insulin sensitivity
- Low GI diets can reduce blood levels
of cholesterol
- A low GI diet, along with lifestyle
changes may also benefit those
with
Metabolic Syndrome X (a condition
characterized by reduced
insulin
sensitivity, obesity, high blood
pressure and abnormal blood fats)
 This cooking course is recommended
for anyone who follows or wishes to
follow a low GI diet for weight loss,
diabetes, improved sports endurance
or
to improve general health and well-being.
To register or to receive further
information on any of the above courses
