Meet Ruth, The Author
Hi, I’m Ruth Hetherington — children’s nutritionist, founder of Happy Little Eaters, and mum of two.
I help parents understand what’s really going on with their child’s eating and take the stress out of mealtimes using calm, evidence-based strategies. With professional training in responsive feeding, the SOS Approach, and the Division of Responsibility — and years of lived experience at the family table — I’m here to help you move forward gently, with support that actually works.
