ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist3 years agoA. Dear mum, its common, children can be picky eaters till 5-6 years.
set a positive example for your child, by having all healthy foods. create a conducive environment for building healthy eating habits.
offer choice between two fruits any one of which you may want him to try.
yourself eat the fruit that you want him to try and explain its texture, flavour to the kid and ask whether he would like to give it a try.
try to give fruits in an attractive manner, colourful combination of cut fruits.
don't be pushy but be gently encouraging.
remember it's a phase it will pass

Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl3 years agoA. hi
mam , as kids have their own choices ,it is common for them to reject certain food items.
but don't worry as their food preferences change over period naturally.
just try your best by giving food with different combinations or in different forms or shapes.
for example
as your child doesn't like to eat fruits , you can prepare fruit smoothie, fruit popsicles
or you can tell your child to cut fruits in different shapes like star heart etc using shape cutter
it will help to encourage your child to take interest in them.
set good example by following healthy eating habits infront of your child.
