🍪 Why Does My Child Prefer Snack Foods Over Meals? 🍽️🤔
Snack food feel safe because it's predictable and easy to eat. it is often crunchy and soft and this accommodates the children's sensitivity to textures.
Ruling out challenging foods further reduces your child's capacity to overcome challenges.
Gentle exposure, a pressure-free approach, and a mix of familiar + new foods, can help your child can gain confidence at mealtimes!
But that's not enough. 😅
