QUESTION: Hilary asked, “My 5-year-old is a picky eater. I also have an 18-month-old who is not a picky eater. How do I make sure the little one doesn’t pick up the older one’s picky habits?
What I answer in the episode:
- role of genetics
- what is in your control to prevent picky eating
- how to give the right attention at meal times
- a tip to increase chances of them trying new foods
- how to work with the older kiddo to reduce the chances of their picky habits rubbing off onto the younger one
- how pressure plays a role at meal times
And I share my favorite exercise for parents to do to help you understand your picky eater on a deeper level – I guarantee this will change how you interact with them at meal times!
