FAQ: child and family nutrition counseling

Please reach us at info@stepping-stonesnutrition.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

At what age can a child start seeing a dietitian?

We work with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. Whether your child is experiencing growth concerns, picky eating, weight-related worries, or is in eating disorder recovery, our dietitians are experienced in developmentally appropriate nutrition care.

How do you involve parents in nutrition therapy for children?

Family involvement is central to our approach, especially for younger children. We regularly include parents in sessions to provide education, coaching, and practical strategies for supporting their child at home. For adolescents, we balance family involvement with the teen's growing need for autonomy and privacy.
