How to overcome a fussy eater

If your little champ is a fussy eater - check out the following tips:

* Establish a meal routine – start the day with breakfast and remember to have lunch and dinner with healthy snacks in-between. Try to stick to a similar time each day so your toddler begins to understand the meal routine.

* Turn off the TV and eat in a settled environment – your dining table is a good start! The TV is a distraction and your toddler is less likely to know that he is hungry as the brain is trying to process the TV watching. This is helpful to know as this also means that the brain is also unable to acknowledge that he is eating and won’t let him know when he is full, not so good for portion control later in life.

* Sit down with your toddler to eat as your toddler is more likely to eat when you are – remembering to be a role model and eat healthy foods together.
