Hello Emma,
Profile synthesis
Your profile is in the average range. You have resources on some dimensions and room for progress on others, which is the most common and balanced profile. The challenge, at this stage, is not to fix "weaknesses" but to direct your energy where it will have the most effect. Your strengths can serve as support to work on the dimensions that are more in the background: progress often comes faster by building on what already works. Deliberate practice — targeting a precise aspect, exercising it, adjusting based on feedback — is more effective here than a general, diffuse desire to improve.

Detailed analysis
This tendency is discreet in you — here is what it tells about you.
The emotional relationship with food does not appear strongly marked in your child at this time.
Your answers place food and emotional regulation below average in your current profile. This identifies a concrete area for development: it is not a deficiency but room for progress. Skills of this kind are built through regular practice rather than through sudden changes. Starting with simple, observable exercises, then gradually increasing the difficulty, generally yields better results than overly ambitious goals from the start. The secret lies less in momentary motivation than in regularity: a few minutes repeated often are worth more than a single big isolated effort. It also helps to make progress visible — noting what you do, measuring from time to time — because seeing the path already covered keeps the momentum going. Finally, treat setbacks as information, not failures: they are part of any learning and simply point to where to adjust.
This tendency is present in you — here is what it sheds light on.
Mealtimes regularly generate tension. Understanding what is happening emotionally can help the whole family.
Your answers place emotional relationship with mealtimes in the average range of your profile. This indicates present foundations that can be strengthened by regular work. At this level, deliberate practice — choosing a precise aspect, working on it, adjusting — is often more effective than a global, undifferentiated improvement. The middle tier is also the one where it is easiest to plateau, because the basics are enough to "get by" without pushing you to progress: stepping slightly out of your comfort zone is what restarts the curve. Set yourself a goal slightly above your current level, enough to stimulate without discouraging, and look for concrete feedback to know whether you are moving forward. It is often from this level that progress becomes the most rewarding, because it shows quickly.
This tendency is discreet in you — here is what it tells about you.
Your child shows good openness to different foods, textures and tastes.
On sensory selectivity and openness, this level calls for the same reading as detailed above for another dimension of the same intensity (see the analysis above).

On food pleasure and curiosity, this level calls for the same reading as detailed above for another dimension of the same intensity (see the analysis above).

Your action plan
Right now
- →Food and emotional regulation — Choose a precise aspect to work on, as simple and observable as possible (not a global goal).
- →Food and emotional regulation — Short regular practice (10-15 min/day) rather than long spaced sessions: regularity builds skill.
- →Sensory selectivity and openness — Choose a precise aspect to work on, as simple and observable as possible (not a global goal).

In the coming weeks
- →Ask for outside feedback (mentor, training, community) to adjust the practice after a few weeks.
In the long run
- →Retake this test in 3 to 6 months to measure your progress. Lasting change is rarely measured over a few weeks.
- →Choose one dimension to develop as a priority rather than all at once: focused effort generally yields better results.
- →Find an adapted practice environment (training, mentor, community, coach): isolated progress is possible but often slower.
- →Document your progression (brief journal, regular check-ins): what is measured gets worked on, and the written trace helps see progress invisible day-to-day.

Each day, spot one situation where “Emotional relationship with mealtimes” showed up. Note the automatic thought, the emotion (0–100) and what you did. Then write one more balanced, alternative reading. After 7 days, re-read your notes: the recurring patterns become visible — the first step to change them.
