Hiya! Struggling with picky eating in your littles? Here’s a quick, back-of-the-envelope reminder of a few things that generally increase and decrease it...⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know, it’s soooo hard not to bribe/ cajole/ pressure them to just put take 2 more bites.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Cut yourself some slack - it takes time and experience to recognize as a parent that good nutrition & healthy eating is about sooooooooo much more than what they eat meal to meal.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Fostering a healthy relationship with food is equally as important as the nutrients we eat - when we bribe our kids to take 2 more bites or eat their veggies in order to “earn” dessert, we teach them to ignore their own preferences and physical feelings of fullness. In the long term, this does more harm than good.⠀⠀
