No tips to add but will definitely be trying some of these!

This was an interesting mini article. Thanks for posting!

Thanks. I’m struggling with a fussy 4 year old. The one thing that works best for us is all sitting at the table together – really hard to do with 3 busy kids and a hubby who works late though.

Great read. I like to introduce new foods to all the children who come to our house. Kids will try anything with their cousins and friends. I like to give kids what they like most of the time leaving out veggie they don’t like but replacing them with lots of what they do like. We like to include the little ones in the cooking process wash the veggie’s is fun for them. Cutting fruit and veggies with plastic knives supervised is fun and teaches them responsibility with sharp items. We also have the little ones cut the herbs with their scissors. They get a surprise when they smell the greens whilst cutting them. Most of the time they will nibble on the veggie/fruit that they are cutting.

I also used to make fruit animals, trains etc made out of fruit, they soon learn to love fruit.

  yes that is it, make food fun

Definitely have a bunch of fusspots (my sons) who could use a few of these points

Some good advice, I just keep offering and hope eventually my 3yo tastes will change.

Thanks again for this article; have shared info with friends.

Great post with some very useful and helpful ideas.

I wonder if this would work on hubby – he is worse that all the kids!!

If they don’t like it then we don’t push it and I agree never punish or bribe if they won’t eat it.

this is a fantastic article! just what I need to read

Good article with some useful information. Being a good role model is the most important when introducing new foods and when eating.

We would always serve our daughter vegetated at dinner time from around 12-18months (carrot and broccoli are our staple veggies) one day after months and months of leaving the broccoli she ate it and asked for more. She ate mine and my husbands broccoli serving that night. Carrots she started taking from the bench while I was preparing them for dinner and the same happened with capscicum. The foods were/are always offered but never forced.

Good tips thank you for the info

I’ve found that I eat a bigger variety of foods to try to encourage my daughter to do the same

thanks for sharing

I have a young teen who is such a fussy eater. She has gotten worse as she’s got older. She would rather go without than eat normally.

Our children as toddlers ate well but as young adults they are more picky!

thanks for the great read and tips
