Description

When Worry Comes to the Table is a resource created for fearless food explorers of all ages and the support people walking alongside them. Through compassionate storytelling, playful food exploration, and practical tools, this book helps readers navigate food fears, sensory sensitivities, feeding challenges and ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), and anxiety around eating with curiosity instead of pressure. At the heart of the story is “Worry,” a character many food explorers know well—the voice that tells big stories about food, uncertainty, and what might happen. Alongside Emilia, readers learn that bravery does not mean feeling fearless. Sometimes bravery looks like all of the steps someone can take along the way. This resource was created to support: Individuals with ARFID - Sensory-sensitive and neurodivergent eaters - Food anxiety and fear-based eating - Families, caregivers, clinicians, educators, and support teams Included alongside the story is a companion guide filled with: Low-pressure food exploration strategies - Nervous system and regulation tools - Compassionate caregiver language and practical tools - Worksheets and reflection activities Written by a Registered Dietitian MaryRose Brown, Certified ARFID Specialist and Inclusive Eating Disorder Specialist, this book blends evidence-informed support with warmth, flexibility, and respect for individual experiences. Because progress with food rarely comes from pressure. It grows through safety, connection, autonomy, and small brave steps over time. Designed to be used alongside the When Worry Comes to the Table Companion Guide for deeper food exploration, caregiver education, and practical support tools.
