Ways to deal with children's picky eaters
Here are some ways to deal with children's picky eaters.

Diversified food

Providing children with a variety of foods can help them cultivate a wider range of tastes.

Participate in the cooking process

Involving children in cooking and preparing food can increase their interest in food and make them more willing to try new flavors.

Interesting food environment

When eating, try to create an interesting atmosphere, such as setting a beautiful dining table, letting children choose their own tableware, or putting some favorite toys on the dining table, which can make children feel happier and more comfortable.

Avoid over-saturation.

Let the children eat slowly and provide them with small portions of food when necessary.

Give the child a choice.

Giving children two or three choices and letting them make their own decisions can make them feel more in control.

Don't force children to eat something.

If children really don't like a certain food, don't force them to eat it, otherwise it may lead to a stronger aversion to the food.

lead by example

As parents or caregivers, we should be a good example and choose healthy food and drinks.

Don't use food as a reward or punishment

Linking food with reward or punishment may lead to children's wrong view of food.

Give children enough time.

Some children need longer time to adapt to the new food. Don't give up, try a few more times, and give your child enough time to accept the new taste and taste.

Seek professional help

If a child is very picky about food and affects his healthy growth, he can seek professional help from a pediatrician, nutritionist or psychologist.
