If you have a picky eater at home, you’re not alone. Almost 50 percent of parents identify their preschoolers as picky eaters.
Picky eaters can make mealtimes hectic. Concerns about wasted food and about whether your child is eating enough “good” foods, not too many “bad” foods (or even enough food at all) are common challenges. Ensuing power struggles can make mealtimes a drag. And planning around your child’s preferences can be almost impossible.
