Fussy eater? Stacey Zimmels shares her top tips to encourage your picky eater to try new foods and reduce stress around mealtimes
. You are not alone! Fussy eating is reported to occur in as many as 50% of young children .
Phrases such as this put your child under significant pressure to eat and can make the mealtime even more stressful for you as you sit, barter and negotiate until you’re defeated or they eat two tiny bites of broccoli and then get a bowl of ice cream as a reward. This is a very common pattern I see in the families I work with. Over time, as their child becomes more reluctant to eat or try previously accepted foods, the parents stop offering and so the range of foods they eat becomes smaller and smaller.
