Make it a point that everyone eats together in their own plates.Do not keep any distractible food on the table - like sugary or spicy foods.If the child watches that special dishes are being prepared for someone in the family, the child also learns to demand the same. Special dishes should not be prepared for everyone. Make sure that everyone in the family eats the same dish.A child is driven by taste and not by nutrition. Khichdi does not have the same taste as chocolate. A child who has eaten chocolates will not adjust to khichdi.Be strong because developing a new habit will take time. Be patient: If your child throws tantrums on seeing healthy home cooked food, do not melt and give the junk food just because your child is crying.Using decorative plates and cups also helps. In this case you can always start slow by making their food interesting, example - using ingredients they like and garnish their food with smileys. If you introduce foods which are higher on the taste spectrum, the child will throw tantrums when you give him/her healthy food. When during the initial months of introducing food to child, do not introduce sugary chocolates, junk food like packed food items, extremely spicy or salty food or else the child will develop the taste for those kind of things.What can be done to make your child eat all kinds of food: Early exposure to junk food - This is the most common.Temperament and mood - Easily frustrated so feels and express the internal emotion.Sensory Challenge - Recognises only few flavours or smell.Oral-motor Challenge - Chewing, Breathing, Swallowing. ![]()
