How to Handle Fussy Eating Toddlers Ft. Billie & Greg | The Mummy Diaries | Disney | with Sue Atkins
In this video that I filmed for Disney I’m chatting with Billie & Greg from The Mummy Diaries and I give them some of my quick tips on How to Handle Fussy Eating with Toddlers. Here are just a few of my practical tips if you suddenly find that you have a fussy eater on your hands – because you’re not alone! 😀 Remember nutrition doesn't have to be frustrating. Try these strategies to avoid power struggles and to help the picky eater in your family eat a balanced diet! Often we don’t respect a child's appetite — or lack of one. If your child isn't hungry, don't force a meal or snack. It sets up a battle around mealtimes & creates a negative vibe around food. Stick to your routines & serve meals and snacks at about the same time every day. Just be patient with introducing new foods & offer a teaspoon or a taste not a huge plateful as it puts your toddler off trying. Some toddlers have to experience a new food up to 15 x before they really feel happy about it! Don't prepare a separate meal for your child after he or she rejects the original meal as that sets you up to create more picky eating. Encourage your child to stay at the table for the designated mealtime — even if he or she doesn't eat and make it a fun & sociable time - not a nagging, negative experience. Make it relaxed. Recruit your child's help with cutting, cooking & shopping so food is fun. Kids take their lead from you - so relax and offer finger food, different textures & a variety of colours & make mealtime a positive time together. • How to Handle Fussy Eating Toddlers Ft.
