Hi everyone,
I am a parent of a toddler who is going through a very picky eating phase. My child only wants to eat certain foods and refuses to try anything new or healthy. I am worried that my child is not getting all of the nutrients they need from their diet. I have tried introducing new foods, but my child always pushes them away or throws a tantrum. I am getting frustrated and don't know what to do.
What are some tips and tricks that I can use to help my toddler eat a more balanced diet? Should I be worried about their nutrition at this age? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone,
I am the parent of a toddler who is a very picky eater. Being a work-from-home mom, I always find it hard to make my child eat a balanced diet because my child loves his usual snacks and refuses to try anything new.
One thing that worked for me was to get creative with healthy foods. I started using them in new and interesting ways – like making a quinoa salad that included chopped raw veggies, nuts, and fruit. This technique worked well for me because it allowed my child to get his daily dose of nutrients without realizing it.
Another thing that worked for me was to give my child small portions and encourage him to try everything on his plate. I found that this technique made my child more willing to try new foods without overwhelming him.
Lastly, I made sure that mealtimes were pleasant experiences. I created a fun and relaxing atmosphere by playing some music, telling my child a story, and sitting together to eat. This technique worked for me because it made mealtime enjoyable, and my child looked forward to it.
Remember that your child is unique, and it might take time before they take to new, healthy food options. The most important thing is to stay patient and persistent while still providing a variety of foods that meet your child's nutritional needs.
