How to help a picky eater

• Stick to regular mealtimes. Routine is reassuring for young children.
• Keep servings small and offer more later—large portions can be overwhelming.
• Use colors and shapes to make the food fun and attractive.
• Try to make mealtimes fun by involving your toddler with meal preparation or chatting with them about the colors and textures of the food.
• Be positive. Praise your toddler when they’re eating well, don’t criticize or punish when not.
• Offer new tastes gradually. One at a time and in small amounts.
• Try not to rush mealtimes as some toddlers eat very slowly.
• Eat together as a family as much as possible. Toddlers learn just as much by watching what you do, from table manners to savoring food and trying different things.
• Encourage them to feed themselves, it might help finger foods be accepted more easily. You can deal with the mess later.
