Conclusion
Developing good eating habits from a young age is important, so make simple rules that are easy to follow – eat with the family, don’t waste the food in your plate, and try every food at least once. Your child may be a fussy eater at times, but don’t let that deter you! Since many food options are open for your child, we’re sure he will grow to like foods that are different from what he has been given all this time. Simply be patient and introduce new foods regularly!
