Professor of Childhood Eating Behaviour. CoDirector of Aston Institute of Health & Neurodevelopment, Aston University, Birmingham, UK. Interested in why kids eat what they eat & the role of individual, family & system factors in eating development.
Latest paper to come from the APPETItE project, in which we show that distraction works really well to reduce eating in the absence of hunger. Thanks to all the team for all the work involved, especially @katieedders.bsky.social who led on this one 🤩 kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

Really looking forward to the next few days at #ISBNPA2025 with colleagues from @astonpsychology.bsky.social. It’s always a great, fun, active, healthy and productive conference. Megan and I compensated for this by spending yesterday investigating the local vineyards 😀

Interested in children’s avid eating? As the APPETItE study comes to an end, we’ve uploaded some talks about the project, what we did, why we did it and what we found (+ links to our publications). Shortly we will be releasing an animation for parents, too.

Managing avid eating is important to parents as it is a major area of conflict for them.
