 As founder of Collin County Pediatrics, Dr. Jay Schwartz
works closely with families in the Frisco, Texas, area. Dr. Jay
Schwartz advises parents on many factors related to their
children’s health, such as proper nutrition.
Getting the right nutrients by eating a healthy diet is very
important to children’s well-being and growth. However,
sometimes getting children to eat the foods that are good
for them presents a challenge. If you are a parent of a picky
eater, you might use some new approaches to encourage
your child to eat more nutritious foods.
First of all, try incorporating fruits and vegetables into
meals your child enjoys eating.

3. Picky Eaters
 For instance, you could put shredded zucchini or
another type of vegetable into spaghetti sauce or pieces
of fruit in pancakes. Additionally, you might consider
making children more active participants in food
selection and preparation. Let children select
vegetables at the supermarket, for example, or ask
them to help in the kitchen while making a dish. They
may be eager to eat the food when it is mealtime.
Finally, reduce temptation by keeping foods such as
sweets and salty snacks hidden away. Instead, keep
some nutritious snacks on hand, such as fruit and a
dipping sauce.
