Psychological Perspective of the Child: Preference for one texture over another is common. He may find noodles easier to chew or simply enjoy their taste more. Psychological Guidance for Parents: Avoid making it a concern. Instead, introduce small amounts of rice in fun ways, like mixing it with noodles. Preferences change over time, so keep offering variety without pressure.
