Dealing with picky eaters can be challenging, but patience and consistency are key. Here are some tips to manage picky eating:
Offer a Variety of Foods: Introduce new foods alongside familiar ones and keep offering them even if they are initially rejected. Avoid Force-Feeding: Pressuring children to eat can create negative associations with mealtime. Encourage, but don't force them to try new foods. Make Food Fun: Use creative presentations, such as cutting fruits and vegetables into fun shapes, to make food more appealing. Set Realistic Expectations: Understand that it can take multiple exposures for a child to accept a new food.
