Summary
It is now so common for children to be "picky eaters" that most consider it a normal childhood phase. There are special menus at restaurants and at social events shaping this whole "children's food" culture—offering them primarily chicken nuggets, french fries, and mac and cheese. Despite parents' best efforts, "picky kids" seem to choose carbs all day long and getting them to eat healthier foods can appear like an impossible task. But is it? Can picky eaters be "fixed"?
On today's podcast, Jennifer Scribner, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and author of "From Mac & Cheese to Veggies, Please", helps us understand what makes a picky eater "picky" in the first place and she gives us strategies for helping them change their eating patterns. She tells us what to expect and how to plan ahead to make the transition smooth (or at least smoother) as we navigate from picky to healthy.
