Hi Doc... I keep hearing about “food bridges” to expand a child’s diet. How do I use this method in real life?

Psychological Perspective of the Child: Food bridging is based on introducing new foods that resemble familiar ones. This helps children feel more comfortable trying new things. Psychological Guidance for Parents: Identify a preferred food and slowly transition to similar textures or flavors. For example, if a child likes crackers, offer whole-grain versions or homemade alternatives with slight modifications.
