In episode 36 of Are they 18 yet?™, I talk about 3 common “problem” food categories when it comes to kids diets; plus tips for making sustainable changes across eat of these areas.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to offer rewards for eating healthy foods. Acquiring a taste for different textures and flavors is a skill that develops over time.
That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to kids’ sensory preferences when you’re introducing new foods.
Sometimes minor differences in flavor or texture may not register to an adult with a broad palate; but they can make a big impact for someone with sensory sensitivities.

✅How to gradually reduce additives like refined sugar from your kids’ diets.
✅How to expand the amount of fruits and vegetables your kids will eat.
