troubling most of the parents of toddlers.

Eating is the biggest task for a child. Making a
child eat is the toughest task for a parent. We
at Beansprouts have seen children across the
globe go through a picky eating phase from about
age 2 to about age 4. Picky eating habits are
more likely to develop when parents punish,
bribe, or reward their childrens eating
behaviors. The goal of feeding a picky eater
should be to try new foods and to keep food from
starting a battle. The psychology is based on the
principles of exposure-based cognitive-behavioral
therapy (CBT) parents themselves can train to
coach their children to try new foods on a daily
basis.

Children across the globe go through a picky
eating phase from about age 2 to about age 4.
Mostly it starts out partly as a built-in
protective impulse in a child. Parents cant or
should not blame themselves for this as mostly in
the siblings we can see the variation. Parents
typically offer food three to five times before
deciding their child is never going to like it.
We must try over and over again. As research
shows that it takes eight to 12 times to
introduce a new food before your child will
accept it We must also ensure not to over-stress
or over-expect from our young ones. The child
should be sufficiently hungry, with an adequate
gap between snacking and eating. Let the entire
family make it a celebration time for eating.

One must ensure to watch the tone while talking
about food. No reprimand, authority or accusation
can bring the desired result. Try to be a role
model for your child. A few more tips we can use
are giving small portions of food, combining
various food items, and regular positive
enforcement can work wonders, at times.

Children should learn how to overcome extremely
picky eating not just for the sake of their
physical health, but for a greater sense of
well-being. Eating a range of foods and enjoying
a meal is critical to a well-lived life. At
Beansprouts, we teach children about the
importance of consuming fruits and vegetables. We
engage the little ones and raise their interest
by introducing them to the entire process of farm
to table for vegetables and fruits. This way,
toddlers are able to relate to the process of
growing Produce and realize they are eating
something healthy that is truly beneficial for
them.
