Wondering how to help a picky eater? Developing a palate takes time. So we’ve prepared a menu of useful tips to help turn your picky eater into a food lover.

  • Stick to regular mealtimes. Routine is reassuring for young children.
  • Keep servings small and offer more later—large portions can be overwhelming. 
  • Use colors and shapes to make the food fun and attractive. 
  • Try to make mealtimes fun by involving your toddler with meal preparation or chatting with them about the colors and textures of the food. 
  • Be positive. Praise your toddler when they’re eating well, don’t criticize or punish when not.
  • Offer new tastes gradually. One at a time and in small amounts.
  • Try not to rush mealtimes as some toddlers eat very slowly.
  • Eat together as a family as much as possible. Toddlers learn just as much by watching what you do, from table manners to savoring food and trying different things.
  • Encourage them to feed themselves, it might help finger foods be accepted more easily. You can deal with the mess later.
