Are you sick of serving your toddler pasta, chicken nuggets, and fries? Wish they could eat more fruits and vegetables like you see other families doing? We understand it can be hard to have a picky eater, and we’re here to help. Two of  the best pieces of advice you can find regarding a picky eater are to let them lead and give them fun tools to use.

Let Them Lead

According to  Gerber, there are some key things to keep in mind when it comes to feeding your picky eater and letting them lead:

  • Be sure to offer your newly independent eater foods from all the food groups each day. You can make exploring new foods easier by serving them along with what they already like.
  • Your Toddler needs three small meals and two to three snacks a day to help get all the nutrition they need. Toddlers get around 1/3 of their calories from snack time, so provide healthy choices and avoid high-calorie, low-nutrient foods like chips, cookies, and sugary drinks.
  • Be realistic about how long your Toddler will sit still. Try to keep them engaged in conversation, but at this age, they may not last the whole meal.
  • Keep mealtime light and relaxed. More high-pressure atmospheres can create picky eating.
  • Give them a developmentally appropriate chair and utensils. Mealtime is just more fun when they can do it themselves.

Give Them Fun Tools

Ever notice how some foods just simply taste better with certain presentations? Ice cream tastes better in a cone, soda tastes better out of a glass bottle, and dinner tastes better with a pretty presentation. As such, give your kiddo some fun ways to enjoy their food that just might make it taste better in their minds.

It is essential that  your kiddo has age-appropriate utensils to use. Don’t take it as a parenting win that they have used your adult utensils before—kids need utensils of their own that are easy to use and make them want to keep eating.

Pair up with FlexBox™ and make it a set! With many charm design options to choose from, we make rewarding healthy eating habits super easy and lunchtime fun, even for the picky eaters.
