If they don't like a certain food, serve it again and remind them that tastes change. Don't cater to picky eaters. If your child doesn't eat the meal you prepare and is hungry later, offer to fix leftovers or a healthy snack. Don't prepare a special meal or give in to demands. Buy only foods you want your child to eat.
Children are more likely to eat foods they help choose.
Do let them select from a variety of health foods you offer. Don't bribe your child to eat. Don't use food as a reward or punishment. Make meals enjoyable and pleasant. Mealtime is a very social time.
