Tips to Encourage Kids to Try New Foods
I chatted with a few friends with young children about their strategies of ways to encourage their children with trying new foods.
1
Take your kids grocery shopping
Just simply getting them involved in the process of grocery shopping and seeing there are so many different kinds of food.
2
Let them pick out their own items
This enhanced his ability to identify and recognize a wide variety of produce, and encouraged him to be brave and try new things.
3
Go on a scavenger hunt in the store
If hunting for ingredients for a recipe, have them help you make that recipe from all the ingredients they found.
4
Cook together
Having your children help you prepare family meals is one of the most effective ways to encourage them to try new foods and improve their overall diet quality.
5
Let them choose
With school starting the thought of packing lunches can be stressful, but if they have a chart to choose from, they get the choice of what they will have packed
Keep introducing the same food in new ways
