Physical Environment
Lighting and Noise: create a calm environment by dimming the lights and reducing noise levels
Turn off the TV in the background
Use lamps instead of overhead lights
Seating Stability: ensure proper seating support to create the appropriate 90°-90°-90° posture
Your child should have their hips, knees, and ankles all at 90°
Use footrests if your child’s feet can’t touch the ground
Use a Consistent Location: keep meals in the same location while also allowing flexibility
If your child is overwhelmed at the table, consider having a picnic on the floor to reduce pressure
