Make mealtime and snack time a fun event. Do not bring stress to the table. Tricks to Encourage Your Child to Eat More Serve even small snacks on a dinner plate or in dishes associated with main meals, which will help the child believe he or she is actually eating more, and make them more comfortable when the larger meals are served. Colorful foods are also attractive to many young children.
Separated foods can be more colorful and attractive to a child.
While some children avoid cuts of meat, chicken is often a favorite because the flesh is easier to chew. Also, it's more fun to hold a chicken leg than to eat bites of cut roast beef. Ground beef is also a favorite with children as it is easy to chew and swallow. Decorate ground beef with colorful sliced vegetables. When preparing main dishes for the rest of the family, put aside some meat or vegetables to prepare in a special way that your child likes.
