Do you agree that picky eaters aren't born, they're created? My kids are about to get home from school. I have this plate waiting for them!
When did your child first taste refined sugar or possibly their first cheese cracker? Depending on when we introduced them to some of the more processed foods is possibly when they began to become "picky". If we, from day one never allowed them to indulge in overly processed foods, then I bet you would have a much less "picky eater" on your hands. I know I would!
With my first child, nutrition was not as important as it is now. I'm still having to retrain my oldest son to consume nutrient rich FOODS. Do you remember the definition of food?
Food (noun) - any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink, or that plants absorb, in order to maintain life and growth.
Parents, if it doesn't contain nutrition and promote life and growth, it's not FOOD! What are the common Un-food items that cause you or your kids problems? Let's encourage each other to focus on REAL FOOD and don't forget, there is Freedom in making this change. Take baby steps by trading one item at a time! IF you need my help, let me know! I'm here for you!
