Remember, the main rule, is not to force, coax, bribe or nag your child to eat the food. Your job as a parent is to offer the food. Try to remain neutral with your attitude about whether they will or will not eat a certain food and don t place more value on any one food on the plate. Also offer the foods, even if they have refused before. The tenth time, your child may change his mind and decide to eat the food.
Fruits are usually easy for toddlers to love.
Offer fresh varieties that are in season. If your child s favorite fruits are not available fresh, then purchase them canned in natural juices or buy frozen fruit. Another favorite is to make homemade popsicles with fruit. Pur e fruits including watermelon, strawberries, cherries, bananas, or any combination with a little water, fruit juice, or yogurt. Place the mixture in dixie cups with a popsicle stick or in store-bought popsicle makers and freeze.
