“A healthy eating routine is important at every stage of life. It can have positive effects that add up over time. It’s important to eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy or fortified soy alternatives. When deciding what to eat or drink, choose options that are full of nutrients. Make every bite count.” – MyPlate.gov

Many parent struggle with a picky or choosy eater at some point in childhood. It’s very common and challenging at the same time. Don’t give up because we want kids to see a new food many times in order to become familiar and comfortable eating it. Make family meals relaxed to avoid pressure to eat everything. Ask your WIC staff person about the “Tips for Picky Eaters” handout the next time you stop by the WIC office or we can mail you a copy. Read it now in English or Spanish.
