I'm so glad you found it helpful! ☺️

[@Bookfreak19]

Food chaining does work! It takes a lot of patience and time but my daughter who used to only eat fries will now eat mashed or baked potatoes, steamed or roasted sweet potatoes and soft carrots.

I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing ❤️

Omg i started food chaining with my son and didn’t even realize. He eats fries and veggie sticks. Not we will try actual veggie sticks

[@suganyaMano]

Can you please mention what age of kids this method can be worked with?

[@april4657]

Not an expert, but I would say any age up to and including adults. It's a more gentle way of trying new foods

[@beyondbehavior]

@april4657 yes, it works for any age.

[@jenniferdiaz1744]

I want to see offering that new food to a kid 😢

[@beyondbehavior]

It has to be done slowly, with the right professional, and with safe foods mixed in.
