I still get frustrated and worried when she doesn’t eat more than two bites of a meal but I’m trying not to let it show!

Great point, things picked from your own garden are sooooo much more exciting than boring old veg from the supermarket.

Definitely, E loves showing off what he’s made when Hubs get’s home and of course whatever it is is immediately considered yummy!

Yes, I think you grow in confidence over time and then seem to have fewer issues. I guess that’s parenting all over isn’t it?

We also agree that they have to try something 9 times before they can say they do not like it as I read somewhere that it takes 9 times to get used to a taste!

Getting them involved in food preparation and baking often makes them more willing to try new things as they have a degree of pride from making it themselves. (Obvs doesn’t work with babies, but works once they are about 3 years old and upwards) xx

Sadly it takes us a while to figure that out 🙂

Ahhh the stress!

I’m going to take these tips on board and toughen up.

One little tip I heard (can’t remember were sorry) for younger kids unsure about a new food is to try this 3 step approach – smell it, kiss it, lick it. It got my daughter to try al kinds of stuff she’d have just said yuck to by the look of it.
