Help! My Child Is A Picky Eater

Are meal times a battle zone? All parents one time or another have gone head to head with their child at the dinner table. Parents often describe their child as a picky eater. Here are some tips that will help your child to eat a greater variety of foods.

• Keep offering foods over and over. Your child may decide to try it.
• Have your child help during meal times. For example, they can set the table and help you mix foods.
• Don't force feed. Children tend to eat more if they are allowed to eat on their own.
• Make foods interesting by cutting them into different shapes.
• Grow a vegetable garden. Let your child help you to water the plants.
