Tips for Parents of Picky Eaters
If “no dessert until you finish your vegetables” is a common phrase in your household, you might have a picky eater on your hands. While some kids look forward to mealtime, others may not touch their food unless it’s a salty snack. To help parents of picky eaters, Dr. Joey Skelton, pediatric obesity medicine specialist with Brenner FIT® at Brenner Children’s Hospital, and Dr. Shelley Houston, Atrium Health Levine Children’s pediatrician, offer advice for getting kids onto a healthy and more adventurous diet.
Here are two of their suggestions:
- Start early. The sooner you introduce brightly colored food options and textures, the sooner your child can begin building a healthy palette.
- Creating a routine can help with picky eating habits. Try sitting down with your child at the same mealtimes each day.
For more healthy eating tips from Dr. Skelton and Houston, read the full article here.
