Got a kid who is a #pickyeater? I do! And it is TOUGH! But, thankfully, @kdahlsgaard is here to help us learn how to help our picky eaters eat, well, more! Here's our interview: https://t.co/QNpUccgiLR

@AllergyKidsDoc I had no idea how much I wanted — needed! — one until I found out they are all gone. Life is puzzling that way #AAAAI22

[Katherine K. Dahlsgaard, PhD, ABPP @kdahlsgaard]

For those who have asked at #AAAAI22 about our newly published SOFAA - Scale of Food Allergy Anxiety - it’s free for clinicians & researchers to download at https://t.co/1D5IR8Fla4 #foodallergy #Anxiety

And thank you @CBSDSchools for having me come to speak during your Valentine’s PD day - wonderful teachers! Teachers are Warriors for Hope!

[Kelley @KelleyPeloquin]

Every time I hear @kdahlsgaard speak I feel inspired, excited and most important, full of HOPE! Thank you @CBSDSchools for a timely and necessary PD day!

@UpperDubSuper @PasaSupts @PADeptofEd @sleepfoundation 1. Ban most homework; research shows little support for its efficacy beyond reading 2. Start MS & HS days at 9:30, bc science tells us teen brains like to wake up around 8. 3. Refer to the chronic sleep deprivation experienced by teens, but caused by adult policies, as torture.

With members of our military after the honor of speaking about #hope at the @CBSDSchools second annual community breakfast. Thanks for your service to the country. And thanks to Superintendent @john_kopicki for bringing me out.

I was just tweeting about the best way to help overly #anxious patients improve their ability for accurate risk assessment. Here’s another example. #cbtworks https://t.co/80FLOMmsId via @phillyinquirer

[Katherine K. Dahlsgaard, PhD, ABPP @kdahlsgaard]

@AllergyKidsDoc More accurate risk assessment is a critical goal for both parents & children if the anxiety is so excessive as to be unhelpful. At Food Allergy Bravery Clinic, we find best success comes via emphasis on the B over the C part of CBT #exposuretherapy

[Dr. Dave Stukus @AllergyKidsDoc]

This is so important for families w #foodallergy! The anxiety from perceived risk in various situations often greatly exceeds the actual risk for ANY reaction, let alone a severe reaction.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is one path towards reclaiming control of these thoughts.

[Katherine K. Dahlsgaard, PhD, ABPP @kdahlsgaard]

“Remember the 3 Bs: Be Boring about Barf” was my main contribution to this funny & meticulously researched article by ⁦@MarnieHanel⁩ who told me I said “barf” or “vomit” 85 times (!) during our interview. #exposuretherapy ⁦⁦@ChildrensPhila⁩ https://t.co/8if0rjk34b

I vow to spend the month upping my game on modeling accurate risk assessment for my patients. And lots of in-session exposures to dog licks are coming my way, I can tell. Which I’m looking forward to, of course. https://t.co/qtZZ9fosWG

[Katherine K. Dahlsgaard, PhD, ABPP @kdahlsgaard]

For the record, I am laughing, not screaming, at this delightful child. BECAUSE HE IS SHOWING OFF HOW HE NOW EATS STEAK LIKE A BOSS!!!!!

[Children's Hospital @ChildrensPhila]

For families with #pickyeaters, dinner time can be a nightmare. Dr. Katherine Dahlsgaard, Clinical Director of our #Anxiety Behaviors Clinic, spoke with @CBSPhilly about new ways families can treat their picky eaters at home: https://t.co/6weULeD0vh
