Dealing with picky eaters can be challenging, but there are strategies to help:
- Introduce New Foods Gradually: Offer new snacks alongside familiar favorites to make them less intimidating. - Be Patient and Persistent: It may take multiple exposures to a new food before a child accepts it. - Make Snacks Fun: Use colorful fruits and veggies, cut them into fun shapes, or create snack art to make healthy foods more appealing. - Avoid Pressuring the Child: Encourage trying new foods without forcing them. Negative experiences can create long-term aversions.
