Specialized Child Nutrition Program
FOUNDATION FOR A LIFETIME OF HEALTHY EATING
A Solid Foundation for a Healthier Future
The ultimate goal of our program is to help your child develop healthy eating habits and expand their dietary variety. Led by skilled nutritionist Estrela, our program is suitable for children aged 6 months to 15 years old, whether they are in the weaning phase or have established eating habits. It can be conducted with multiple children in the same household.
We provide expert education and practical strategies to introduce new flavors, textures, and food groups while promoting long-term well-being. Parents will also be actively involved and equipped with materials and guidance to continue the journey beyond the program's duration. Together, we'll pave the way for your child's optimal health and development.
Our Methodology
Drawing from our experience, we have developed a gradual and consistent methodology that prioritizes the child's enjoyment, preventing potential frustrations. Our unique approach involves spending consecutive hours with the child, allowing us to closely observe their preferences, digestion patterns, adaptability to different foods, and their overall relationship with food. This comprehensive assessment encompasses food preferences, presentation styles, textures, flavors, as well as dietary requirements, any existing eating disorders or allergies, and the child's growth patterns.
Through ongoing feedback and guidance, we empower parents to sustain the progress made within and beyond our supervised sessions. Unlike standard methodologies that often involve separate
sessions with parents and the child or adolescent, our approach establishes a strong connection between parental understanding and the child's ongoing progress. We recognize that implementing dietary strategies into a child's daily routine demands dedicated time and a consistent approach.
Our methodology consists of a series of comprehensive meetings conducted regularly throughout the week, extending beyond mealtimes. This approach ensures uninterrupted progress and minimizes potential setbacks, alleviating stress for both parents and children. We prioritize creating an engaging and stress-free environment to facilitate positive and lasting changes in your child's eating habits.

Nutrition Service Alerts:
Upon your initial contact, we will send you a form to collect information about the children. Following this, our nutritionist will devise a personalized strategy and meal plan, providing you with a detailed grocery list. During each session, she will visit your home, offering companionship to the child, preparing their meals, and handling the cleanup. Our session durations are thoughtfully designed to create a natural experience, ensuring the nutritionist's presence is not solely associated with mealtime. This extended time frame is crucial for observing the child's behavior and development closely. To monitor your child's progress and offer continuous support, we will share biweekly reports and educational materials, reinforcing dietary care beyond the supervised hours.
Our program suggests a minimum of two weekly sessions, with each session lasting around 4 hours. This approach enables us to gain valuable insights into your child's eating habits, preferences, and meal frequency. The program is designed to span at least 3 months, during which you will witness day-to-day improvements. This timeframe allows us to introduce a wide range of foods, taking into account seasonal availability and diverse cooking methods, all aimed at fostering creativity and enhancing flavor diversity.
