Children who are picky eaters can be burdensome to mothers. Here are some tips on how to handle picky eaters:
1. Vary the color and texture of foods served on the table. Usually the more colorful the food, the more interesting to eat. You can also use a cookie cutter to cut the food into different shapes and sizes.
2. Mix vegetable puree in your usual dishes. In this way, children who refuse to eat vegetables will not know that you already mixed the vegetable in their favorite dish. Examples of these recipes are scrambled eggs with cauliflower and brownies with carrot and spinach.
3. Eat with your children. Make mealtimes more enjoyable and require everyone to sit at the dining table when eating.
4. Experiment on different seasonings, sauces and spices.
5. Minimize distractions during mealtime. Turn of the TV and don't allow toys on the dining table.
6. Avoid feeding your children with candies or junkfood at least one hour before mealtime so as not to ruin their appetite.
7. Bring your children to the grocery and let them help in choosing what vegetables or fruits to buy.
