In this episode of Managing Mealtime Madness, we’re diving into one of the most effective frameworks for reducing stress at the table: Ellyn Satter’s Division of Responsibility in Feeding (sDOR). This evidence-based approach ties into everything when feeding kids (babies through adolescents!) and helps parents create a positive mealtime environment while allowing children to develop healthy eating habits and a strong relationship with food.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What the Division of Responsibility is and why it’s a game-changer for family meals
  • The parent’s role versus the child’s role at mealtime
  • How to handle picky eating, food refusal, and higher/lower weight child eating habits
  • Practical tips for making meals more enjoyable for everyone
