It can take 10-15 tries for children to accept and enjoy new foods.Serve your child the same foods as the rest of the family. ...Offer new foods with foods that your child already knows and likes.If your child refuses something, offer it again in a week or so.Offer healthy meals and snacks at consistent times every 2–3 hours throughout the day. This allows kids to develop an appetite before their next meal. Serve filling beverages or foods like milk or soup at the end, rather than at the start of a meal, to prevent the child from getting overly full before beginning to eat.Eat together – Even if they're currently refusing to eat, sit down and eat while they sit there, if only for a few minutes. Focus on the meal simply being a positive experience, even if your just chatting with your toddler for a few minutes while they have some food on their tray.Keep Calm. Try to be a calming influence. ... Avoid Encouragement. Never be forceful or even pressure them to try or take one more bite of the food. ... Routine. Try to stick to a good schedule for meals and milk feeds. ... Be Responsive.
