Conclusion
Giving your toddler different options to try during his meals so that he can get used to different food. Don’t hesitate to switch it up and give the same food styled differently – even that can help your child eat better! It might get a little frustrating when your child plays with his food – that’s totally normal! Let him have his fun, but make sure he gets adequate nutrition.
