Expert Reveals Key to Overcoming Picky Eating: Consistency, Not Coercion
A recent viral video from Unpicky.Kids, a pediatric occupational therapist, is reshaping parental understanding of picky eating. The video highlights that children often require more than 20 exposures to a new food before they feel comfortable enough to try it, let alone enjoy it. This challenges the traditional approach where a child's initial rejection leads to the food being removed from their diet permanently. "Tastes change, but only if the food sticks around," states the author, emphasizing the importance of consistent, low-pressure exposure. The therapist, who identifies as a former picky eater, advocates for keeping new foods on the plate without coercion, fostering a sense of safety and familiarity rather than forcing immediate acceptance. This perspective offers a gentle yet effective strategy for parents navigating mealtime battles, aiming to make mealtimes easier and calmer.
