How often has your kid refused to eat something or thrown it back at you with a “Yuck!” – and not even tried it.
It’s enough to test the patience of a saint. Kids seem to evaluate their food based on smell and looks very quickly, so the key is to make it look like fun. One very simple idea is to use colorful paper plates – cut these into fun shapes and try serving their food on these. You could even get them involved and make it part of dinner – if it gets your picky eaters to eat, it’s worth it.
