Making chicken wraps as a family can be a great way to explore different ingredients and textures. This type of meal can provide independence in older children being able to create their own wraps and provides exposure to lots of vegetables in the meal. Even if a child doesn't put something in the wrap just by simply seeing it, smelling it and maybe trying one piece it is one exposure closer to acceptance. Sometimes it can take up to 12 times for a new food to be accepted by a child so keep on trying!

Creating fun food platters like the rainbow fish is a great way to provide children exposure to different foods whether you use fruit, vegetables or a combination of both. Providing new foods with familiar foods can help children to try a new food that they haven't learned to like yet. A brave try of something new can be as simple as touching it, smelling it, licking it or a small bite. Providing an open and relaxed environment while eating can start to build positive relationships with food from an early age.
