Picky Eating VS Sensory Play

Tackling Picky Eating with Sensory Play: How Ermias Is Learning to Love Food One Crunch at a Time Hey, friends! Destiny here, coming at you with a little real-life mom magic from my chaotic-but-adorable world. If you’re battling a picky eater like me, you already know the struggle is real . The mealtime negotiations, the turned-up noses, and the please just eat something prayers. But guess what? There’s a gentle, fun way to help our little food explorers get comfortable with new textures and tastes — and it’s called sensory play . What Is Sensory Play—and Why Does It Matter? Sensory play is all about letting kids use their senses—touch, sight, sound, and sometimes even taste—to explore the world around them without pressure or expectation. For picky eaters, this can be a total game-changer. Instead of forcing food into tiny mouths, sensory play gives them the chance to get to know food on their own terms. Studies show (and trust me, I’ve got the science receipts!) that this kind...

A Mom on a Mission: Small Changes, Big Goals

A Healthier Me, A Healthier Us


Rethinking My Own Habits
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the way I approach food—not just for Ermias, but for myself too. As I work on making changes to his meals, I realize that I should be making better choices for myself as well. It only makes sense that if I’m putting effort into making sure he eats balanced meals, I should be doing the same for me. After all, how can I expect him to embrace new, healthier habits if I’m not modeling them myself?

Starting Small, One Step at a Time
So, I’m starting small. No big, overwhelming changes—just little tweaks here and there that feel natural and manageable. If I’m making him a better breakfast, I’ll make sure I eat one too instead of skipping or just grabbing something quick. If we’re eating at the table together, I’ll be fully present, using mealtime as a moment to connect rather than just another task to check off. And I want to move more—not necessarily intense workouts, but small, intentional steps like short walks, stretching while he plays, or dancing around the kitchen while we cook.

Leading by Example
I don’t have a strict plan laid out, and I don’t want to set unrealistic expectations for myself. But I do know that I want to feel better, have more energy, and be the healthiest version of myself—for me and for Ermias. If he sees me making good choices and enjoying them, maybe he’ll be more open to the changes I’m making for him too. Instead of just telling him what’s good for him, I’ll be showing him every day.

This is Just the Beginning
I don’t know exactly where this journey will lead, but I do know one thing—if I can do this for him, I can do it for me too. Every small step counts, and I’m ready to take them.
