Dear Parents,
Toddlers and parents both can experience a perfect storm of challenges around feeding and eating .Even the most adventurous and confidant eaters can go through a naturally picky eating phase from about four months to four years
During this cautious phase they may become suspicious of even previously enjoyed foods ,not want foods to touch on their plate ,and pick about everything green.
Children say no as they go through the developmental phase of becoming individuals- they may say no to putting on a jacket ,or brushing their teeth, or no to anything you want them to eat .
In a bid of control, most will try to get parents to serve their favorites. In addition , growth and intake often slow, which is scary for parents of smaller children and can lead to parents only offering favorite foods . With all these changes this is the time when things often go wrong ...This is the time to set up Golden Rules with your Child 'One has to try a little bit of everything'.#toddlereating #pickyeating #goldenrules
Don't stop adding variety to your child's plate...
Love,
Deepti
