As dietitian’s we can totally understand the frustration, when your child is struggling to eat your food or anyone’s food!
We need to take a step back and look at WHY this is happening, in order to help them move through and improve, we need to get to the root cause and address that first. This may be really difficult for some kids and may take some time and lots of help.
Eating is a learned behaviour and we need help our children learn through positive experiences, the they will go back for more. If it’s not a positive experience they will shy away.
Do remember to tune into your kids and help them to tune into their own hunger and satiety cues. Never force them to eat, there is probably something they are struggling with.
