a ) Problem: One-Food Wonder Child may happily eat some foods and throw others on the floor. Is it developmentally appropriate ? How long will it last ? Confused: Give them what they want or be assertive?

Remedy : Don't Fight It Keep offering a variety of healthy foods, even if child rejects it at first. Many children take their sweet time before deciding if they like the new food at all, so keep trying. 

Offer fruits, vegetables, and even "grown-up" food, without pressure. You will be surprised when you find out what they like to eat.

b) Problem: Won't Eat His Veggies

Does your child says 'NO' to green veggies ? It's normal for your child to react that way as many vegetables have a strong smell and taste, especially when cooked. 

Allow your child to see it and smell it before you cook it even if he doesn't like it try it again another day.

Solution: Give them Choices

Bring children into the kitchen and let them pick their veggies. If green isn't their favorite , offer the red and orange ones or offer them raw veggies with a dip like 

ranch dressing or hummus.

c) Problem: Drinks Her Calories

If your child drinks so much milk or juice that she isn't hungry during mealtimes then most likely she's not eating healthy.

Solution: Limit Liquid Calories

For children ages 1 to 6, keep juice 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup. Water down juice gradually until your child is drinking plain water. Your child should have about 2-2½ cups of milk a day. 

Remember that kids over 2 should be drinking 1% or skim milk.

WHY IS MY CHILD SO PICKY?

Many preschoolers are picky eaters specially when it comes to eating healthy food. Choosing when and what they'll eat is how they learn to be independent.Remember we as adults 

have our own food choices ,so why not have patience when serving healthy foods to children.

Don't Worry, Make Your Picky Eater A 'Picky Helper'

Do: Let Kids Help in the Kitchen

Children who help prepare a meal are much more likely to eat it. Let your child help - roll out dough, wash lettuce ,sprinkle cheese, or other easy meal prep. If they don't .

Try again tomorrow.Having them help prepare meal will make them familiar of foods they like and the different ways of cooking they prefer.

Do: Set a Good Example
