She explains that while some degree of picky eating is normal at certain ages, severe picky eaters often have underlying issues that need to be addressed. Christine emphasizes the importance of introducing whole foods early, avoiding processed foods, and exposing children to a variety of flavors to promote healthy eating habits and strengthen jaw muscles.
