Most all children get enough to eat even if it doesn’t appear so. Therefore, as long as your child is healthy and not underweight don’t worry. Remembering that you are not the only parent that faces this problem will also make it easier. This is the time that children go through a lot of phases including many where they only want to eat certain foods all the time. As long as these foods are healthy, then over a few days your child will have eating a good well-balance diet even if he only eat three or four different types of foods.

One great tip for dealing with a picky eater kid is to make it a point to introduce them to new foods. You can add something new once or twice a week. When your child sees other members of the family trying new things it will help to encourage them to do the same. Have a set time for meals and don’t allow snacking in-between. A child won’t eat if they are not hungry. If you find it necessary to allow snacks, then at least limit them to no more than two a day and make them healthy snacks. Make your meals fun and relaxing and engage in good happy conversations.
