Is there anything scarier than your kid refusing dinner?!

Are picky eating habits following your kid like a ghost? We’ve got tips to make meal times less spooky for your little one. The real tip? Pair these suggestions with nutritious and kid-loved meals that are ready in 1 minute!

When there’s nothing recognizable on the plate, it may cause some anxiety for your little one. Try serving familiar food (like fruit) alongside a new meal to provide some much needed comfort and reassurance as they get used to new foods.

Lack of eating can often have more to do with the mealtime environment than your child’s food itself. Look for ways to encourage your child to focus on the food. Turn off screens, put away toys, and talk about the foods on their plate as they explore the meal.

We like to follow the concept of division of responsibility—you’re in charge of what is served, kids are in charge of how much of and whether or not they eat. Once the meal is served, you’ve done your job! Now it’s up to them to decide whether they eat it or not. For children that are used to being given another option on demand, this will definitely be a big change, and one that they might not be happy about at first. Remind yourself that you are helping establish healthy eating habits, and teaching your child that food doesn’t just appear—it takes time, effort, and resources to prepare, so making something else is not an option.
