How do I feed a child who's a picky eater?
When it comes to picky eaters, you want to establish your role as a parent and take responsibility for feeding your child. It's a parent's responsibility to decide what foods children eat, and how and when they eat them. Allow your child to have a little bit more independence; allow your child to decide whether or not they are going to eat the wonderful, healthy choices that you have presented to them, and how much of those healthy choices they want to eat. Other things you can do with a picky eater include coming up with fun names for the different foods, using cookie cutters and creating fun shapes with a sandwich. Present food to your picky child in a fun way. You can also make sure to cut your child's food into small bite-sized pieces. This is so not to kind of overwhelm them with a huge piece of food in their mouth.
