Does any of these remind you of your child/children?

 

-“She will only eat mac & cheese for dinner”

-“He use to love eating grapes, now he wont eat them at all”

 

Many children develop picky eating habits to certain food textures and colors. The United states Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that ” picky eating is common for many children ages 2 – 5 years old” (Healthy Tips for Picky Eaters, 2012). Oftentimes children may “play” with their food instead of eating, this is also a signs of picky eating.

 

The USDA says picky eating is “temporary” (2012) and usually ends by the time children are ready for kindergarten.
