Description
This bundle consists of our four Typical Development of Eating courses. Upon purchase you will have access to all four courses.
The full information for each course is included below.
Learner outcomes will be assessed with a quiz as well as self-reflection after each of the four courses have been completed.
The Development of Taste and Texture Preferences
Children begin learning about flavors within the womb and continue to learn about both flavors and textures across the first few years of life. Understanding this learning is the first step in helping children with feeding challenges. Fetuses are exposed to the basic flavors in utero. These experiences begin a long journey of learning about the taste and textures of foods, which influence the foods the child eventually eats on a regular basis. This presentation will review what we know about the development of flavor and taste, as well as the acceptance of textures across infancy and early childhood.
OBJECTIVES
After attending this webinar, the participant will be able to:
- Recall what are “free sugars”.
- Summarize based on facial expressions, the flavors most preferred and most disliked in the newborn infant.
- Summarize the difference in tactile sensory inputs between pureed and table foods.
- Summarize the difference in taste sensory inputs between pureed and table foods.

Developing Skills for Healthy Eating
Professionals and parents can influence the diet of a child, and the first way to do so is to understand normal development. Developmental skills support the transition from a liquid diet to textured table foods. The developmental domains include oral motor, gross and fine motor, and even cognition. As the infant matures, their way of thinking about the world in general and food specifically changes. Parents are the first influencers, but over time the child is also influenced by other people and the environment. This presentation will address the acquisition of these skills across domains within the first five years of life. It will also describe how these developmental skills support the ability to transition to an age-appropriate diet.
OBJECTIVES
After attending this webinar, the participant will be able to:
- List one reason postural/body stability influences the ability to eat textured foods
- Explain why preterm infants should be offered solid foods based on their developmental age
- List one of six changes in anatomy that affect oral skills
