Picky eating is common, as toddlers assert independence through food choices. Instead of pressuring them to eat, offer a variety of healthy options and allow exploration. Use a strategy called the “division of responsibility”, you decide what, when, and where food is offered, and they decide how much to eat. Make meals visually appealing (e.g., cut food into fun shapes), and involve them in meal preparation to spark interest. Avoid bribing or negotiating, which can create negative associations. Mealtime consistency, a calm environment, and your patience will encourage a positive relationship with food over time.
