Thank you so much for this information, I'm so grateful to have found you! My now 9 year old son has struggled with specific foods, and if he eats them he will throw up. Blueberries, peaches, etc. I've never tried to force him to eat them, instead I just trust him to try when he's ready. Thank you for all of this!!
You two did an excellent job teaching this information. I learned so much, especially about playing with your food. 😂 How fun. I’m actually working with someone right now who’s not eating very many foods and this has been so helpful. Thank you so much.
You gained a new sub. I do offer non processed, mostly healthy foods. I don't force her. Ordered a stamp kit for fruits and veggies to make it more appealing. Engage her in making snacks, salads, and soups since I stopped propper cooking. It's a waste of time and energy, just for myself. We eat together since it's shared time, and she hopefully at least tries something else.
My 2 year-old gets very upset when I put other foods that she doesn't like on her plate. She will get up from her seat run straight to the wall and start banging on it or she will run to her books and start tossing them down screaming. I have recently put on shows with characters she likes that have fruits and veggies in their videos and I noticed she has become a little bite more curious when she sees those ones in the house so I'm definitely going to see if she will help me take them out of the bags and put them in the fridge. She is curious with the things that are on the inside of the fridge door but it never dawned on me to put fruits or veggies on the door or to try to get her to touch whats in the bag to help me put them in the fridge so thank you for this video! 🤗
Any reason why you don't mention ARFID? My daughter has that and she is terrifed of fruits mostly. Just curious because it seems very relevant for parents to also consider. I hadn't heard about the disorder until our pediatrician brought it up last year. Thanks!
How do you differentiate between picky eater behavior wise or sensory wise? How long does it take to say it’s a phase? If it’s getting worse since year 1 and not at year 2.5 we are down to 2 foods for meals and 3-5 for breakfast is it sensory? He was eating everything up to the year.
If your child has a very limited food rapport - less than 10 foods that they will eat - it would be helpful to seek out a professional! Talk to your pediatrician about working with a feeding specialist!
"always provide less preferred food w preferred food" won't that be wasting food? how do poor families who struggle to make ends meet deal w picky eating? would you advise them to let the kids play w the food and then straight to trash? this is my struggle. truly seeking for advise... i hope i get a response
That is something that many families have to work around! If possible, use bulk food items that are cheaper, when using food for play. If possible, when the child is finished with a meal, the family can save the food that wasn't eaten.
@@HarklaFamily thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I’ll try to find a way. This stage is so stressful. I have 5&8 and they used the nonpreferred food bowl for the carrots after complaining. They eat carrots but the smashed one in a burger (hidden veg still). They grimace at the cubed ones.

So happy it's helpful!!!
Picky eaters is partly a natural stage. Thank you 🙏.
Yep! There is a 2-3 year period where we expect toddlers to be picky as they learn their preferences and assert their independence!

Yes, the less pressure the better! Feeding toddler is no easy feat!

It's not something that we have done research on yet but definitely something we will talk about in the future as we learn more!
Marvellous 👏
