Should I be concerned if my child only eats carbs? How do I balance their diet when they refuse protein and veggies?

Psychological Perspective of the Child: Many toddlers prefer carbohydrates due to their mild taste and easy texture. Food preferences shift over time with repeated exposure. Psychological Guidance for Parents: Keep offering a variety of foods in a no-pressure environment. Try mixing small amounts of protein or vegetables into their favorite carb dishes. Picky eating usually resolves with patience and consistency.
