@otmarissa: Part 3: involve them in the meal! (I know life gets hectic sometimes so I don’t expect it to work out for EVERY meal, I try to be intentional with him helping me for a couple dinners a week) I don't make a separate meal for him. I make one family meal and always include at least one safe food I know he'll eat. That way his plate never feels completely unfamiliar. Easy jobs he can do: Stirring, pouring, tearing, scooping, cutting soft foods with a toddler-safe knife. The job can be tiny! He loves being in his toddler tower while I cook so I just hand him a task while he's up there. THE WHY: When a picky eater interacts with food before it hits their plate (touching, smelling, watching it change), it removes some of the unfamiliarity, gives them a positive interaction with the food that can carry over into the actual meal. 👉 How do you involve your toddler at mealtimes? This is part 3 of my picky eater series. Follow along for more! #pickyeater #pickyeatertoddler #pediatricot #feedingtherapy #toddlermeals
