When it comes to dealing with fussy eating, the way in which you serve food can sometimes be more important than the food itself.
We often view picky eating too simply, sorting foods into “like” and “dislike” without appreciating the sensory and practical challenges a child may face. What looks like stubbornness can be a reaction to appearance, smell, texture, temperature or the mechanics of eating a particular dish. Recognising these factors can help reduce mealtime battles and make eating less stressful for the whole family.
