Introducing new foods to your child can be an overwhelming experience, especially if their initial response is not what you expect! Children may not be willing to explore a variety of new foods right away, don’t panic! This can be normal. Engaging with new foods is an entirely new sensory experience for your child and we want to allow them time to explore and engage with new foods prior to expecting them to eat them. But how can we do this?

🔹Engage them with the foods in fun new exploratory ways! Allow them to experience this food with different parts of their sensory system without pressure to eat it. (Touching, smelling, licking, biting, etc).

🔹Present the food in a visually appealing way. Try presenting the foods in muffin tins, organized on their plate in fun ways, used as ‘finger paint’, or allowing them to construct their meal on their own plate!

🔹Be PATIENT! This can take time for your child to get comfortable enough with a new food in order to eat it. Encourage independence and positive communication around the foods presented.

🔹Present different types, colors, textures, temperatures, and flavors of foods early on! It is important we expose children to a variety of foods early to prevent narrowing their view and acceptance of foods, even if they are not ready to eat it.

If you have further concerns about your child’s feeding development, call or visit our website: https://www.taylorphysicaltherapy.com/pediatric-therapy/pediatric-clinic
