There are <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2019\/02\/26\/why-is-picky-eating-so-common-in-toddlerhood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">several possible reasons<\/a> for picky eating &#8211; genetics and biology among them.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b><i>Highlights:\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several reasons for picky eating, but parents play a powerful role in teaching children to enjoy new foods. Here are a few tips:\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer a variety of foods, even if they\u2019re in one-bite portions. Try pairing new foods with foods they already love, or with something sweet, like a piece of fruit.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To give them a sense of control, ask them to choose between two options or allow them to self-serve.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts say that it could take up to 15 offerings before toddlers decide to accept new foods. Be patient and keep trying!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid using bribes, pressure, or coercion. These approaches can backfire and sometimes lead to eating issues later on in life.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make mealtimes happy times! Be encouraging and praise them. Have fun with food presentations and invite your child to help prepare the food (wash vegetables or add a pinch of salt to a pot).\u00a0 It\u2019s also okay to play with food at this age to get them interested (touch, squeeze, smell, lick, chew, or spit it out).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>No matter how picky your child is, researchers say you play a powerful role in teaching her to enjoy a variety of foods. We\u2019ve scoured the research and expert tips to bring you this long list of things to try:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Tips for Feeding a Picky Toddler<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Variety, variety, variety. <\/strong>When your little one turns her nose up at every food that isn\u2019t beige, it can be tempting to go all-beige just to ensure she eats. Offer her a variety of foods anyway, even one-bite portions. Consistently doing so helps her become familiar and comfortable with different things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pair the old with the new. <\/strong>Just like going to new places feels safer if she\u2019s holding your hand, your toddler may be more willing to try something new if it\u2019s on a plate with one of her go-to foods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This or that. <\/strong>If you\u2019re trying to turn your toddler on to vegetables, try offering her two choices so she can feel a sense of control. This goes a long way with toddlers, who love to exert their independence!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Try self-serve.<\/strong> You are in charge of what foods you offer, but try empowering your toddler by letting her spoon the different options onto her own plate. This may motivate her to go an extra step and actually eat it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sweeten the deal. <\/strong>It\u2019s normal for toddlers to have a sweet tooth. This may be left over from the hunter-gatherer days, when a sweet tooth could attract them to energy-rich, easy-to-digest foods like fruit. You can make new or rejected foods more appetizing by adding a just touch of sweetness. Once your child eats the food a few times, serve it unsweetened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hang in for the long haul. <\/strong>Experts say that reintroducing rejected foods is key; you may have to offer your child a food up to 15 times before she accepts it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ditch distractions. <\/strong>Research shows that children are more likely to have a better attitude about eating when they are not overstimulated at mealtime. That means no screens (smartphones, tablets, TVs), toys, or other distractions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make mealtimes happy times. <\/strong>Experts say that when parents are encouraging and praising about trying new or rejected foods, children are more likely to eat them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bribes are not bueno.<\/strong> Attempts to bribe, pressure, force, or coerce a child to eat tend to backfire. Power struggles at the dinner table exacerbate picky eating, and may even lead to eating issues later in life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s okay to play. <\/strong>A child may be more likely to taste something if she can touch, squeeze, smell, crush, lick, or even chew and spit it out. Reasonable food play is appropriate at this age.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table manners come later. <\/strong>Not playing with food, along with sitting still at the table, eating with her mouth closed, and other table manners are not developmentally appropriate yet. Rather than pushing them during the toddler years, focus on all of the other points we\u2019re highlighting here. This doesn\u2019t mean she gets to run the show; certain things like throwing her cup across the room can be dealt with using <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2019\/02\/13\/toddler-discipline-18-24-months\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">age-appropriate discipline<\/a>. When it comes to other types of manners, you\u00a0<em>can\u00a0<\/em>get the ball rolling on those. <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2019\/03\/13\/why-manners-matter-why-its-never-too-early-to-teach-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here&#8217;s<\/a> how.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be a mealtime model. <\/strong>Little ones love to copy parents, older siblings, and others. It\u2019s one of the primary ways they learn! If you want your toddler to eat a bite of broccoli, show her how. Toddlers also love <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2018\/04\/06\/laugh-its-good-for-your-childs-development-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">humor<\/a>, so try saying \u201cThis broccoli is <em>delicious!<\/em>\u201d in a funny voice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make your child a mini chef. <\/strong>Invite your child to help you prepare new or rejected foods. This could be as simple as letting her touch vegetables before you chop them, or tossing a pinch of salt into a pot of soup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have fun with food presentation. <\/strong>Highlight your toddler\u2019s love for cute, funny things by making a picture with the food on her plate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toddler stomach = toddler fist. <\/strong>Experts say that parents often equate not eating a lot with pickiness. Your toddler\u2019s stomach is the size of her clenched fist, so in reality she will feel full after eating very little.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today is not the same as yesterday. <\/strong>Despite that small stomach, there will be days she will eat more than usual, only to go back to eating less a few days later. This is normal, experts say, and often coincides with growth spurts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The doctor\u2019s scale has the final word. <\/strong>Still worried she isn\u2019t eating enough? If your pediatrician says her growth is on track, you can rest easy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beware of beverages. <\/strong>Too much milk, juice, and even water in-between and especially before meals can make your child full at mealtime. Teach her to drink when she\u2019s thirsty rather than carrying a sippy cup around with her at all times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To graze or not to graze. <\/strong>You may come across advice to allow your toddler to eat a little here and a little there throughout the day. The American Academy of Pediatrics and others say it\u2019s better to limit snacking and encourage her to eat at mealtimes.<\/p>\n<p>Feeding a picky toddler can be exhausting, but following these suggestions can help you set her up for a lifetime of healthy eating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If your toddler spends mealtimes shaking her head and pushing her plate away, you\u2019re one of countless parents around the world who deal with a picky-eating little one.
