Abstract: There can be many obstacles preventing families from meeting their feeding goals. Well-meaning clinicians might be frustrated when it seems like the family can’t or won’t take the steps needed to achieve these goals. Motivational interviewing strategies allow the clinician to step back and understand that the ability and responsibility for change lies in the hands of the client. With motivational interviewing techniques, the clinician can help clients determine their own goals, and empower them to use their own motivational factors to succeed.
