How to help a 4-year old picky (or selective) eater try new foods

On this episode of Monday Mornings with Dr. Mona, I talk to Megan about her four-year-old and his picky eating. I like to call it “selective or preferential eating because picky eating gets a bad connotation. So, let’s reframe how we approach this together. We discuss:  Why our biases with meals/food matter  The power of allowing some control for our children Why pressure backfires  Check out all the PedsDocTalk Courses for more guidance, tips, and support during parenthood. The Picky Eating Playbook offers strategies for toddler feeding and reducing mealtime battles. For more watch Dr. Mona's "Stop Doing This When Talking About Food" video on YouTube.
