@growth.and.guidan: Mealtime shouldn’t feel like a battle every single day. 😩💚 When your child only accepts a handful of foods, completely changing the plate can sometimes make things harder. Instead, try starting with what they already know. Chicken nuggets are a safe food? Keep the nuggets. Then introduce ONE small, familiar side alongside them. No pressure. No forcing. No expecting an empty plate. Just exposure, patience, and small steps. 💚 Because sometimes progress isn’t eating the cucumber today—it’s simply allowing it to sit on the plate.
