Make Mealtime Less of a Hassle

While it can be hard to get healthy food on the table, many parents know that the real challenge is getting their kids to eat that healthy food.

Common behavior includes:

  • Food jags: will only eat one food meal after meal.
  • Food strikes: refuses to eat what is served.
  • Food fear: refuses to try new foods.
  • Complains about the food you’re serving.
  • Wants to watch TV during mealtime.
These short and simple strategies for dealing with food challenges are just what you need to make a change in your household.
