3. Eat Together
Eating together is paramount to a child’s decent eating habits and this should be an enjoyable time for all the family. Building a respectable structure when eating will encourage your fussy eater to exhibit good eating behaviours. Mealtimes promote family chats and bonding at the table distracts your child from the power struggle over their refusal to eat certain foods.
