0:00.0	Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the
0:08.2	Chaos of Parenting a Child with Anxiety or OCD. This show is for educational purposes and is not
0:14.8	intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional. Here's your
0:18.9	host child therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:29.1	Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. Today I have an amazing guest, someone who's been on before, and we're going to be talking to
0:36.2	Alicia Grogan. She's an occupational therapist and she is also the creator of Your
0:42.0	Kids Table, which is the fantastic website that helps you deal with
0:46.2	picky eating and I partner with her often because anxiety and picky eating overlap and anxiety makes our kids anxious about
0:56.9	everything right and there's a lot of things that are kind of side dishes to
