“I usually put the smallest portion of disliked food on the plate, just for exposure to that food. Sometimes it even gets eaten! Our job is not to force the child to eat. It’s to offer them nutritious food.”
Yes!! We’re on night 10 of one lone broccoli on our toddler’s plate—still no bites, but he did lick it once and give it a weird look, so I’m counting that as progress. 😂 - Danielle
