Confidence, Cooking, and Picky Eaters 

By: Elizabeth Hummel Published on: 29/04/2025

Dinner time is an important opportunity for families to share, communicate, ask questions, and build connections. Picky eating, also known as selective or fussy eating, is a common behavior in children where they are very selective about the foods they eat, often refusing new or unfamiliar items. While this behavior is often a normal phase of development, some children may exhibit extreme pickiness that can lead to nutrient deficiencies. It is essential to understand the reasons behind picky eating and to adopt strategies that can help children broaden their dietary choices.
