A. hi please try to make your child sit to take meal with whole family because children learn more from imitating their parents. keep offering different dishes with different taste and different texture. make food presentation attractive. for example as your child doesn't like to eat chapati ,offer it in different colors using palak make green chapati , using beetroot you can make red or pink chapati etc or offer chapati in different shapes like star heart smiles etc using shape cutter it will help to encourage your child to take interest in food. but please don't force feed your child. you can tell stories for this also.
