Including your child as much as possible in food prep and meals can help them become more adventurous. <\/p>\n
Charlotte says simple activities such as helping lay the table, stirring or spreading mixtures, doing the shopping together or even reading about food can all help.<\/p>\n
She also advises exposing them to a wide range of foods.<\/p>\n
“Children like familiarity. So the more they become familiar with all these foods, the more likely they are to accept them.”<\/p>\n
This doesn’t have to take a lot of time. Charlotte recommends using food items that are quick to use and nutrient-heavy. <\/p>\n
“Things like ground nuts, ground seeds, a handful of frozen fruit or vegetables.<\/p>\n
“And also products that you can make a very quick meal out of, such as mixing tinned tomatoes, lentils and frozen veggies, and voila, you’ve got a really healthy, nutrient-dense pasta sauce.”<\/p>\n
