How to Handle Picky Eaters: Tips for Parents

Why Kids Become Picky Eaters

Many preschoolers refuse to try new foods due to taste, texture, or habit. Encouraging variety early prevents nutritional deficiencies.

Tips to Overcome Picky Eating

• Make Food Fun: Cut fruits and veggies into fun shapes.
• Introduce New Foods Slowly: Pair them with familiar favorites.
• Avoid Forcing: Encourage but don’t pressure your child to eat.
• Get Them Involved: Let kids help with meal preparation.

Fun Mealtime Activity

• Food Art Challenge: Let kids create food animals or smiley faces using fruits, veggies, and grains.
