how to handle a picky eater toddler?

Perhaps you can play with textures, colours and mixing flavours? If your toddler refuses to eat his greens, mix it in something he likes, for example, home made patties, nuggets or meatballs are great places to hide vegetables and other undesirables foods. If you child suddenly finds his minced meat porridge unappetizing, turn the rice-meat combo into something else like baked rice. At that age, toddlers are constantly pushing the limits to everything and being picky about food is one of them. Instead of overhauling all your ingredients, just think of different ways to serve and cook the same foods.

I will read her stories and I will tell her that she have to eat greens and eat meat to grow taller and grow faster than her peers. When my friends or relatives comment that she's grown up so fast or that she looks taller, I will whisper to her ears that it's because she is eating a variety of food and that people noticed that she's growing taller. Another way you can try is to make the food look interesting and cute by doing her favorite cartoon characters. Can buy the veg cutter or mould from Daiso Singapore or kiddy palace Singapore.
