Tips for Dealing with Fussy Eaters
Fussy eating is a common complaint with parents. But there’s a couple of tips that can help make mealtimes less of a battlefield, as follows:
- Invest in a fun toddler dish or kids' plate, that invites children to the table,
- Serve smaller portions – don’t overwhelm your child with choices
- Get little ones involved in the cooking process – ask them to pick out foods, or stir pasta sauce (all under supervision)
- Sit down for a family meal – this is a great way of encouraging kids to eat
- Make food fun – cut foods up into fun shapes, use condiments to add a touch of colour. There’s even some funny egg moulds you can buy to make breakfast more appealing.
