How to Simplify Picky Eating

How to simplify picky eating

 

It’s the bane of parents’ existences: Picky eating. And while some children are certainly pickier than most, most moms and dads worry whether their kids regularly consume a variety of nutrients – and in the right quantities! – for optimal growth and development.

What kids eat matters, and so this week I’m speaking with a certified nutritionist to help us both understand and simplify all the intricacies around feeding our children.

My guest is Kaitlin Cushman. Kaitlin is the Director of Product Development and Education for Healthy Height, a nutritional shake to help kids grow.

Here’s preview of today’s conversation:

[7:30] 3 ways in which parents can prevent picky eating in young children

[9:15] How to best encourage our kids to have positive relationships with food

[13:30] Dessert best practices

[16:15] How to inspire our children to try new foods

[21:30] Why and how to use snack time as your secret nutritional weapon

One thought on “How to Simplify Picky Eating

  1. I have a possible solution to knowing when a child should have dessert after dinner or any other meal. In our house, the size of their dessert corresponds to the amount of dinner they ate!
