Every page was written for the parent who has already read the generic advice and found it useless.
Not fussiness. Not bad parenting. Not something they will grow out of. What ARFID is, how common it is, and why it has nothing to do with how hard you have tried.
Batch inconsistency. Hidden ingredients. Texture variation. No sensory information anywhere on packaging. The four specific reasons the food aisle keeps letting your family down.
A practical template to systematically record every food your child reliably accepts and the sensory properties that make it acceptable. Something you can share with a dietitian, school, or therapist.
The six nutrients most commonly deficient in ARFID-affected children — omega-3, iron, vitamin D, zinc, calcium, and B vitamins — and why they matter. Specific, not alarmist.
Clear signals that professional input is warranted. Named UK resources with direct links — ARFID Awareness UK, Beat Eating Disorders, BDA dietitian directory, CAMHS pathway.
A systematic template for recording every food your child accepts — the texture, smell, appearance, flavour intensity, temperature, and batch consistency that make it safe. Print it, fill it in over a week, and share it with the people supporting your child.
