FUSSY FOODIES

Your child will often first display his food preferences at around ten months of age. For 4 - 6 months he has quite happily accepted your offerings. Now suddenly he protests - usually at the green foods!

Think ahead. Do you want happy, pleasant peaceful mealtimes, or battles, tears and tantrums over every meal?

We always gave our children a choice at mealtime. They may eat what is served or have nothing. No third choice was offered. Ever.

Be calm and consistent right from the start and you will not have fussy foodies.

TEEN TIP: Teens who happily eat whatever is served, and say thankful, are a joy!!
