Fussy, picky, choosy eaters

from Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between

When / why do children become more fussy? We spoke about the neophobic stage (which goes right back to when we were cave people!) as well as other reasons why babies and children might be choosy about food. What happens when panic sets in and our children refuse to eat? Some tips to help children with learning about what they like and portion control. Offering alternatives? Watching our children eat “please just try it!!!”and how it feels for them. How the neophobic stage is also the ‘terrible twos’ stage. ‘Tricking’ / bribing children to get them to eat. Did Claire’s dad buy cabbage for tea! Of course he did 😉! How important it is for children to be sitting in a position where their back and feet are supported to eat comfortably and well. Sweet and savoury – puddings, how we are conditioned from childhood, building good food habits.
