The ARFID Survival Guide

Start creating calmer, more positive mealtimes — without pressure, battles, or bribing.

👋Does this sound familiar?

• Your child refuses entire food groups — or only eats a handful of safe foods

• Mealtimes are filled with anxiety, stress or stand-offs

• You’re constantly serving separate meals — and still worrying if they’re getting enough

• You're starting to wonder: Is this more than just picky eating?

If that sounds like your home, this guide is for you.

💛 What You’ll Get Inside:

A practical, parent-friendly workbook to help you understand if ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) may be affecting your child — and what to do next.

✅ A simple quiz to screen for ARFID traits
✅ Clear breakdown of risk levels (low, moderate, high)
✅ Common red flags you shouldn’t ignore
✅ 7 low-pressure strategies to support your child’s eating
✅ Sensory-friendly meal ideas and gentle exposure tips
✅ When to seek professional help — and who to call

✨ Why This Guide Works:

I’m Emma Lowrie — paediatric dietitian, feeding therapist, and someone who’s been through fussy eating myself. I use trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming strategies that focus on connection, not control.
You won’t find “just one bite” tactics here — just calm, real-world support.
