🍕Do you have a picky eater at home and/or at school?
As a mom of a picky eater, I know how frustrating it can be to try to navigate this. Here are some pointers that I like to refer to that have helped. Overall - they will eventually grow out of it, and you are doing the best you can do!

⭐ Share a meal together as a family. No media distractions like TV. Use this time to model healthy eating. Serve one meal for the whole family and resist the urge to make another meal if your child refuses what you've served.
⭐ If your toddler refuses a meal, avoid fussing over it. Pressuring kids to eat, or punishing them if they don't, can make them actively dislike foods they may otherwise like.
⭐ Tempting as it may be, try not to bribe your children with treats for eating other foods.
⭐ Just because a child refuses a food once, don't give up. Keep offering new foods and those your child didn't like before. It can take as many as 10 or more times tasting a food before a toddler’s taste buds accept it.
⭐ To minimize waste, offer new foods in small amounts and wait at least a week or two before reintroducing the same food.
⭐ Make food fun. Make foods look irresistible by arranging them in fun, colorful shapes kids can recognize. Kids this age also tend to enjoy any food involving a dip.
⭐ Involve kids in meal planning.
⭐ Try serving unfamiliar foods with familiar foods toddlers naturally prefer
