We grew up around picky eaters, and we didn’t want our kids to be that way when they grew up! So what can you do to encourage your children to be thankful rather than whining, to enjoy a wide range of foods, and to be gracious guests at the table? We’re talking about what we did to help our eight kids grow up with a more varied diet than we had!

Some Scripture that might be helpful 

… in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Do all things without complaining and disputing … (Philippians 2:14)

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31)
