We all know that a healthy, varied diet is important for our child's growing needs. But what should you do if your child turns up his nose at just about everything. Here are some tips to make it easier to cope with fussy eaters.
Many young children go through periods of being fussy eaters and this is a normal part of growing up. Children often want to eat certain foods at a certain time and in a certain way.
If your child refuses to eat fruits and vegetables, try to make them more tempting or more fun and serve food that is fresh and presented in an attractive way.
Try to find meals that the rest of the family enjoys. Include one or two items that the fussy eater avoids, they may eat the items not knowing they are there.
Invite a friend of the child who has a large appetite or an adult that the child likes for dinner like an uncle or aunt. Sometimes, a child will eat for someone else without any fuss.
Offer drinks after a meal so that they don't ruin the appetite and you can also offer new foods when you know your child is hungry and more receptive to new tastes.
