โBut my child won't even TRY it!โ
If you've said this before, you're certainly not alone.
But what if trying didn't have to mean taking a bite?
For a child who finds unfamiliar food difficult, trying might start with:
๐ looking at it
๐ฅ serving it to someone else
โ touching it
๐ smelling it
๐ฅ helping prepare it
๐ฝ๏ธ allowing it on their plate
Eating may come much later.
Instead of:
โJust have one bite.โ
Try giving them permission to simply explore.
Small experiences count. ๐
