Variety is the spice of life … and no kids'
meals out!
Cynthia Hiebert says, "I just fed my kids a wide variety of
foods, including all types of ethnic foods, from the time
they started on solids. Also, don't order kid's meals at res-
taurants; give them some of your food, or two or three kids
could share a regular menu meal."
Be cool as a cucumber at mealtime.
Don't engage in food battles and hold your ground. Gina
Kennedy, mom of two, shares, "I don't make them finish
their plates. They know when they're full, and what's left
can be wrapped up for later. Plus, they're more willing to
try new things if they know they only have to try one bite
instead of finishing every last crumb."
take your time in picky eater rehab.
Shannon Watkins, mom of seven, says, "I would say it's a
process. Take one meal per day and try to make healthier
options. So if a child likes chicken nuggets, make home-
made nuggets."
repeat exposure.
Above all, be patient. Gina Kennedy, shares, "A note on try-
ing a bite: that's not for new foods, that's for all foods. Even
foods they're convinced they hate. The repeat exposure
builds familiarity."
Have fun with the process, try to be patient and you will likely
soon be rewarded with a child who doesn't fight you on every
new thing, but who shocks you with wanting to try all sorts of
new things!
