“Eating shouldn’t be a chore, and encouraging frequent experimentation through discovery and play and involving children in their food choices is key to expanding those choices,” she added.
She says one way to contain children’s rejection of certain types of food is to allow them to eat sweets with every meal.
Sarah explained: “While 41% of parents use sweets as a reward, it’s best to make dessert a normal part of every meal instead.”
Studies have shown that over 21% of children think cooking with their parents will encourage them to try new foods, and 17% are willing to try something different if their parents wear a fun costume while serving it.
However, some foods remain on the taboo list for children, such as broccoli and avocado.
Carrots, potatoes, and sweet corn top the list of their favorite vegetable choices.
