Avoid Picky Eating Habits

13 minutes

Are your toddler’s picky eating patterns perturbing you?

Fussy eating habits and mealtime conflicts can be very frustrating! Food battles can cause a great deal of stress and may even lead us to encourage habitual behavior we later regret.

It is way easier to learn a good habit than it is to break a bad one! So, today, I would like to help you avoid the pain of picky eating issues by discussing ways to prevent those problems before the behavior becomes entrenched.

When we understand what is normal and expected, it becomes easier to avoid potential problems. In this episode, I focus on how to help picky eaters change their habits by explaining how to approach mealtimes in a relaxed manner that encourages a healthy and easy relationship with food.

Stay tuned for more!
