Encouraging Kids to Try New Foods

The battles over food between toddlers and parents can be frustrating, to say the least. It seems as though they're programmed to reject everything with any nutritional content, and to gravitate towards anything high in fat, sugar, or artificial ingredients. So how do you get your little one to lower their guard and try new things at dinnertime without resorting to trickery and pressure tactics? I've got some tips for you in today's video!

Thank you for this! I’m a daycare teacher assistant and I have a co worker who tries to deprive the kids of fruit if they don’t eat their food and it makes me angry and I wish she would encourage them more instead of demanding they try the food!

My kiddo is picky and its hard to get him to try new things. I believe his food allergies add to his lack of interest in food. I will try this technique.
