Description
The holiday season can bring joy, but it can also heighten stress—especially for families navigating pediatric feeding challenges. In this workshop, we’ll explore simple strategies for staying grounded, setting compassionate boundaries, and shifting the focus from food to connection. Parents will leave with practical tools, calming practices, and gentle scripts to help create more ease, meaning, and presence during holiday gatherings.

CEUs
Certificates will be issued verifying participation in 2.0 hours of continuing education once a passing grade is received on the quiz. Check with your professional organizations licensing bodies to determine exactly what may be accepted for you. This course is eligible for ASHA’s professional development hour requirements. You will not require ASHA pre-approval for this. See here [https://www.asha.org/certification/FactDef/] for more information. As we are based in Illinois, we are more confident that our events count towards our local organizations (e.g. ILOTA). Our events are not formally submitted through any registry, however if you track your hours independently they may count towards your professional development requirements, and your certificate may stand as proof of your participation. We also submit for credit approval with the Illinois Early Intervention Training Program. This is not required for all states, and may not apply to you. Please refer to your state/local organization for further information regarding CEU requirements and if our events are considered eligible activities by their standards.

If the Chicago Feeding Group or speaker should need to remove the course, course fees will be refunded or transferred to another course at the discretion of the participant.
