Are There Any Special Considerations for Picky Eaters?
Picky eating is common in childhood and can be influenced by various factors, including temperament and sensory sensitivities. For picky eaters, it's important to offer a variety of foods without pressure, allowing the child to explore new tastes at their own pace. Involving children in food preparation, offering choices, and making mealtimes fun can help reduce pickiness. If a child's picky eating leads to nutritional deficiencies or significant stress for the family, consulting a pediatrician or a registered dietitian can provide additional support.
