Picky Eater Power Struggle

2. The Picky Eating Power Struggle
Do you have a picky eater on your hands? If so, chances are that their
eating habits may be driving you crazy. Picky eaters can turn even the
most rational and loving parents into obsessed, battle-weary,
bargaining, pleading lunatics. Getting your child to eat his or her
vegetables, fruits or other seemingly scary foods can be time-
consuming and exhausting.
No mother likes to give their kid tough love, but children’s eating
habits form from a young age, so it’s important to tackle the issue of
picky eating before it becomes ingrained in them.

3. "The longer a child continues to be picky, the more likely it is that
they’ll always be picky. However, parents shouldn't feel helpless,"
says Dr. Mark Fishbein, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Children's
Memorial Hospital and coauthor of Food Chaining: The Proven 6-Step
Plan to Stop Picky Eating, Solve Feeding Problems, and Expand Your
Child's Diet.
Although very cute, picky eaters are typically the ringleaders of the
dinnertime power struggle. Your child might be winning the battle
now, but later on picky eating can lead to finicky habits and poor
nutrition. Today, Dream Dinners franchise reviews three tips to help
guide you through the picky eating power struggle.
The Picky Eating Power Struggle

4. Although your child shouldn’t have complete power in the
situation, giving them some freedom can lead to trying new
foods. Try letting them choose their dinner sides from the colorful
fruits and vegetables in the produce section of the grocery
store. You can also try letting them help you with meal planning
or selecting your Dream Dinners If they know that they’ve picked
out a certain part of the meal you’re serving, they may be more
inclined to try it because they had a part in the preparing and
planning. Once the meal is served, avoid negotiations with your
child.
1. Give them some choices

5. To avoid overwhelming your child with too many new, unknown
and seemingly “icky” things at once, introduce them to new foods
gradually. When giving your kid a new food item to try, make sure
that you’re serving it alongside something that they like. If your
child’s favorite food is macaroni and cheese, then have them try
new vegetables like peas, carrots or green beans by adding it to
the macaroni. That way, they’ll be more likely to try the food
because it’s associated with the macaroni and cheese.
2. Introduce the new gradually

6. As a parent, it’s your job to introduce and offer a variety of food
items to your kids. This doesn’t always mean that they’re going to
like everything the first time they try it. Parents shouldn’t give up
when they serve a menu item once only to find out that their
child has rebelled against eating it. According to Dr. Tamar
Kahane, a child psychologist who has developed a program to
treat selective eaters, it can take a kid between 10-15 tastes
before a child accepts a new food as something they like. This
may mean that you will have to serve the same food many times
before your child accepts it as something they like.
3. Serve it, don’t force it

7. When it comes to ending the picky eating power struggle for good,
patience is key. Your child’s eating transformation won’t happen
overnight. It will likely be a long and drawn-out process, but in the
long-run it will only benefit your child’s nutrition. Eventually, your
children will surprise you with the vast variety of foods that they’ll
be open to trying. Hey, someday they may introduce you to a new
food!
