🍽️ If your kid won't even sit at the table when there's new food on it, this is for you. 🫵🏽 I'm a dad. My son is autistic. For a long time, dinner felt like a battle nobody was winning. 💥 Then we found this. 👇 The 6 Steps to Eating. A sensory-friendly framework (the SOS Approach by Dr. Kay Toomey) that changed our whole routine.🤗 1️⃣ Tolerating. Being in the same room as the food. 2️⃣ Interacting. Helping prep, stir, pour. 3️⃣ Smelling. Leaning in close. 4️⃣ Touching. Fingertips, then lips, then tongue tip. 5️⃣ Tasting. Lick. Bite. Spit. Chew. Repeat. 6️⃣ Eating. The whole thing. You don't skip steps. You don't rush. You meet your kid where they are.🪜 The first time he chewed and swallowed something new on his own, I cried in the kitchen. Then I made him another one and pretended I was fine. 😅 This is Empowered Designed Learning at the dinner table. Every step intentional. Nothing accidental. 🤗 Save this for the next time you put something new on the plate. 💛 🎬 This video was made with @Google Flow Omni for the scenes, @Adobe Firefly for the visuals, and Adobe Express to bring it all together. Real workflow. Real dad. Real tools you can try too. What's the food your kiddo finally tried? Drop it below. 👇 #AutismParenting #PickyEater #SOSApproach #SpecialNeedsParenting #TheTechProfe #EmpoweredDesignedLearning #AdobeExpress #AdobeFirefly #GoogleFlow #AIforParents #SensoryFriendly #AutismDad #PadreLatino
