I am just learning as I go along. But I do hope that this blog will show other parents that they are not in this alone. That it <em>does<\/em> get better, slowly. I share what works best for <em>our&nbsp;<\/em>son, and I realize every kid is unique.<\/p>\n<h2>Why did you start High Chair Chronicles?<\/h2>\n<p>Honestly, I started High Chair Chronicles as sort of an emotional outlet because our son's eating issues were giving me so much anxiety. I was worried and had panic attacks. I dreaded mealtimes. I didn't know what to feed him and had no hope of it getting better.<\/p>\n<p>Starting a blog seemed like a cheaper option compared to going to therapy, it was good for my sanity.<\/p>\n<p><sub><em>This page contains affiliate links.
