A. Make mealtimes a happy, regular and social family occasion. Sit together to eat with your child whenever you can.Show your child how much you enjoy eating the food you’ve prepared.Get your child involved in helping to prepare and cook family meals.Offer new foods when you and your child are relaxed, and your child isn’t too tired or distracted by other things.Set a time limit of about 20 minutes for a meal. If your child hasn’t eaten the food, take it away and don’t offer an alternative snack or meal.Avoid punishing your child for refusing to try new foods. This can turn tasting new foods into a negative thing.Avoid bribing your child with treats just so they’ll eat some healthy food. This can make your child more interested in treats than healthy food and sends the message that eating healthy food is a chore.
