One day your child will try any new food and the next day they won't eat anything that doesn't come in a blue box.
You're not alone. According to Naomi Kakiuchi, Founder of NuCulinary Cooking School in
It's not always about the taste of the food but a power play between the two of you. And guess who often wins? Yep. Now you're cooking a limited list of foods that your child will eat.
You can encourage your child to branch out with these quick ideas:
Spend time in the produce section and have them choose vegetables for the next few dinners. For the younger ones, give them a choice between two vegetables. If your child is curious about brussel sprouts or pomegranates, buy just a few to try.
Get them involved in preparing dinner. If they are part of the process, studies continue to show that they are more likely to eat what they help prepare.
Of course, that takes time and makes a mess in your kitchen but it can be quality time with a long-term payoff.
