Accepted Answer

For a 2-year-old who is not eating much or is very selective with food, here are some strategies to try:

1. **Offer Variety**: Provide a variety of foods to find what he might enjoy. Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and dairy.

2. **Small Portions**: Serve small, manageable portions to avoid overwhelming him.

3. **Involve Him**: Let him help with simple meal prep or choose from a selection of healthy options. This can make him more interested in eating.

4. **Routine**: Establish regular meal and snack times to create a routine.

5. **Make Meals Fun**: Use fun shapes, colors, or creative presentations to make food more appealing.

6. **Avoid Distractions**: Ensure meal times are focused on eating, without distractions like TV or toys.

7. **Model Eating**: Eat together as a family and model positive eating behaviors.

8. **Stay Calm**: Avoid pressuring him to eat, as this can create negative associations with mealtime.

If these strategies don’t improve his eating habits or if you have concerns about his growth or nutrition, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatrician for further guidance.
