Fussy Eater? It’s All Part of Growing Up!
After putting time and effort into preparing nourishing meals for your child, it is understandable to feel frustrated when they refuse to eat. Most children eat when they’re genuinely hungry—sometimes they just need a moment to “wind down” from their last activity to focus on mealtime. Remember, picky eating is often just a phase, and with a little patience, many children naturally “grow out of it.” But what if your child doesn’t seem to be moving past this stage? Or maybe you’re just looking for ideas to make this period a bit easier? Watching your child explore food is exciting—but hearing “no” to every meal can be exhausting! Discover ways to support their independence while making mealtimes enjoyable for everyone.
