Having trouble getting your kids to eat? It’s common for kids to be picky and, as long as they meet nutritional guidelines within a week, there’s no need to worry about when they eat and what.
The Mayo Clinic suggests the following:
- Respect your children’s hunger, or lack thereof. If they’re not hungry, don’t force them to eat.
- Be careful not to give them snacks or juice an hour before a meal. They’re more likely to eat if they’re hungry.
- Don’t force your children to clean their plates. Let them eat until they’re full.
- Set a good example. If your kids see you eating a variety of healthy foods, they’re more likely to follow your lead.
