11 Strategies for Turning Picky Eaters into Curious Eaters
If you’ve got a picky eater at home and have been wondering, “How do I get my child to eat better?”, we’ve got 11 great strategies for you!
In this podcast episode, I’m tackling a big emotional topic for a lot of parents — how to help your picky eaters become more curious, adventurous eaters.
Just about every kid goes through some phase (or multiple phases) of picky eating, and it can be a super frustrating and challenging time for parents. Using my own personal experience as a mom combined with everything I’ve read on this topic, we’ll discuss a wide variety of strategies parents can use to help support the transition from picky eating to curious eating.
After this 30 minute episode, you’ll have the tools to:
- Shift your mindset and redefine what success looks like during dinner
- Make dinnertime a no-pressure environment
- Create more fun around the dinner table
- Involve your kids in the kitchen by letting them help meal plan and cook with you
Plus so much more!
