Try New Food: How to Help Picky Eaters Taste, Eat and Like New Foods (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732591875)

You're Not a Short-Order Cook. It's Time to Say Goodbye to Picky Eating and Hello to Peaceful Mealtimes.

The journey with a picky eater can be exhausting and isolating. You've tried everything: hiding vegetables, begging, and negotiating. You worry about your child's nutrition and wonder if they'll ever "get it." And by the way, mealtime shouldn't be a source of stress.

If you're a parent of a picky eater, you know the frustration of short-order cooking and the anxiety of trying to get your child to eat. But what if you could change that? This second edition of Try New Food is more than just a book-it's a compassionate, science-backed roadmap to helping your child overcome their food aversions and become a confident, adventurous eater.

Written by child nutrition expert and registered dietitian Jill Castle, this guide will empower you with the tools you need to:

• End the mealtime power struggles for good.
• Help your child build the skills they need to feel comfortable trying new foods.
• Create a positive and relaxed feeding environment for the whole family.
• Understand the root causes of your child's behavior and learn how to address them effectively.

Try New Food builds your understanding of why a child is picky and uses a strategic approach to getting children to taste, eat and (eventually) like new foods, without unproductive tactics like hiding vegetables or mandatory tastes, which can backfire. Instead of "waiting it out," Try New Food offers a thoughtful alternative.

Stop the mealtime stress and start building a positive, healthy relationship with food for your child-and for your family.
