Try not to make it a big deal and worry. We know that is easier said than done.

Expert Advice:

• Offer new foods together with foods that your child already likes, but do not offer to cook a different meal for your child. Cooking a separate meal may encourage picky eating. 
• Avoid pressure and don’t force your child to eat because this can make things worse. Instead, offer healthy foods at regular times and allow your child to decide if and how much to eat. 
• Children like to have some control. Serve foods family-style and let your child choose what they want to eat. 
• Make family meals important. Children learn by watching others, so set a good example by eating healthy food in front of them. 
• Make mealtime fun! Tell stories, share silly jokes or talk about your child’s favorite things.
