Do's and Don'ts with Picky Eaters

Most kids have a few odd things that they absolutely won't eat but if your child is one who only eats macaroni or won't eat anything green, you've got a picky eater.

Picky eaters can sometimes be hard to deal with and it makes eating out a hassle. Here are a few tips to help get your kids expand their eating horizons.

1. Don't let them snack an hour before meal time to make sure they've got a big appetite for dinner. They might not actually be a picky eater, they might just not be hungry after all their snacking.

2. Don't make a big deal out of them not eating it or try to force them to. This might turn more of a battle of wits than a dislike of food.

3. Do serve new foods in small portions. Smaller portions are less intimidating and they'll be more likely give it a try. New foods serve well with old favourites too, it gives them a sense of comfort.

4. Do be a role model. If your child sees that you dislike something or that you won't eat certain things, this might develop into a taste of their own.
