Help your child try new foods and break free from fearful eating
For parents of children with extreme picky eating or ARFID—this isn’t about sneaky tricks or quick fixes. This is about giving your child the tools to confidently explore new foods and thrive.
When every bite is a battle, the worry never stops
You know the drill.
You stick to the same grocery list, over and over again, because those are the only foods your child will eat. You cancel plans or skip events because you don’t want to deal with the stress of their eating in public.
You lie awake wondering:
- Are they getting the nutrition they need to thrive?
-
What happens when they stop eating this favorite foods
- Will they ever eat like other kids?

You’re not just managing your child’s eating habits—you’re managing anxiety, exhaustion, and the constant fear that you’re running out of time to “fix” this.
Here’s the truth:
It’s not your fault. And it’s not hopeless. Your child can learn to eat more foods. You just need the right plan.

Picture this:
- Grocery shopping without obsessively hunting for their favorite brand.
- Watching your child take their first curious bite of something new—and loving it.
- Celebrating family meals without tension, frustration, or tears.
- Seeing your child thrive at birthday parties, family gatherings, and school lunches—no fear, no meltdowns, no stress.
- Feeling lighter and freer because you no longer have to carry the weight of constant worry.
That’s not a pipe dream. It’s what happens when you have the right tools and a step-by-step plan to help your child.

My daughter has ARFID. We weren’t making progress in feeding therapy. She wasn’t trying anything.

Parents of picky eaters, I see you
Hi! I’m Jenny Friedman, MS RD
fellow mom, best-selling author, dietitian who gets what you mean when you say “incredibly picky”
Known for my playful and approachable style, I’ve helped dozens of children learn to confidently eat new foods and expand their diets. I work with parents to understand their child’s eating challenges so they can have better mealtimes and know their kids are getting the nutrition they need to thrive.
I’m the author of Stories of Extreme Picky Eating: Children with Severe Food Aversions and the Solutions that Helped Them, and most importantly, I can’t wait to help your family in Eating with Ease!
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this guide different from other picky eating resources?
This guide is specifically designed for parents of children with extreme picky eating or ARFID, not typical picky eaters. It focuses on long-term strategies for children with significant sensory sensitivities, fear of new foods, or rigid eating patterns.
This guide is a summary of the complete framework I use to help the most extreme picky eaters try new foods.
Will this work for my child if they’ve never eaten a new food before?
Yes! The step-by-step framework meets your child where they are—whether they’ve been stuck on the same three foods for years or have extreme anxiety around food. Progress is gradual and pressure-free, designed for success even if past efforts haven’t worked.
How long will it take to see results?
While my expectation is that significant diet expansion will take time, the simple steps you get in Conquering Extreme Picky Eating set you up for success from day one.
Many families start seeing shifts in mealtime dynamics, their child’s comfort level with new foods, and their willingness to explore new foods within weeks (if not immediately!). Again, it’s a long-term process, but the framework ensures steady progress toward sustainable diet expansion.
Does this e-book work for kids with autism?
I actually got my start in extreme picky eating when I was working with autistic kids and Conquering Extreme Picky Eating is based off of my experience working with neurodivergent children.
If that’s you, Conquering Extreme Picky Eating is a GREAT fit.
The framework can easily be tailored to your family’s specific needs and it addresses sensory sensitivities, food rigidity, and strong aversions.
Some children with autism or sensory struggles benefit from pesonal assessment and care. Conquering Extreme Picky Eating can be a great complement to in person support. Parents have used it in combination with in person therapy to reinforce strategies in the home, address mealtime challenges, and learn strategies THEY can use to support their child.
What if my child has sensory sensitivities or outright refuses to touch food?
Conquering Extreme Picky Eating addresses common challenges like sensory sensitivities and food refusal. Strategies like hands-on experiences, food play, and sensory exploration are tailored to help your child gradually feel more comfortable without pressure.

Conquering Extreme Picky Eating takes a fresh, research-based approach that focuses on root causes, consistency, and patience. It’s designed specifically for children with severe eating challenges and incorporates strategies that go beyond traditional picky eating advice.
