Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test looks at your child's relationship with food, less at what is on the plate than at what surrounds it: what food comes to soothe when a feeling passes through, the atmosphere of the meal itself, sensitivity to textures and smells, and the pleasure that remains at the table. The report situates each of these aspects from your observations.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Adolescence in Crisis, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

Reference frameworks and authors

This questionnaire draws on research frameworks about the development of food preferences and the parent-child relationship around food. It is not a clinical screening tool for eating disorders.

The questionnaire explores 5 areas: Your reading of your child's relationship to food, Food and emotional regulation, Emotional relationship with mealtimes, Sensory selectivity and openness, Food pleasure and curiosity. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
