Start small.<\/h2>\n<p>When introducing a new food to your child, give them just a little taste the first time. Studies have shown that offering even a tiny portion is an effective first step in \u2013 over time \u2013 getting kids to eat new foods.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Try, try again.<\/h2>\n<p>You may need to serve a new food \u2013 like peas or broccoli \u2013 many, many times before your toddler will eat it. It can take as many as 15 exposures for a child to get fully comfortable with a new food. Sometimes even more. Knowing that can help you be more realistic with your expectations.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Be creative.<\/h2>\n<p>To keep your child willing to try those peas or broccoli the first 14 times, you&#8217;ll need to bring some fun to the table. Some ideas for presenting the same food in different ways: cut or arrange the food in different shapes; change up the plates, bowls and utensils you serve them with; or serve it in a different location, like a living room picnic. Try to keep the experience new and fun for your child.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Let them explore.<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ll have more success introducing a new food if you let your child explore it with all of their senses. Encourage them to smell it and touch it. You might even need to roll it in their fingers. That may sound crazy, but kids learn through experience and discovery. They&#8217;ll be more comfortable trying new things to eat if they can fully examine them first.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Get them involved.<\/h2>\n<p>One way to motivate your little one to try something new is to bring them to the grocery store with you and have them pick out a new fruit or vegetable to try. And they&#8217;ll be even more excited to try their choice if you let them help you prepare it before mealtime.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Don&#8217;t force it.<\/h2>\n<p>Studies show that kids react negatively when pressured to eat foods. And in the long run, it doesn&#8217;t help them like new foods. Neither does negotiating or offering rewards. Be patient, stay positive, and think long term.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><em>Updated from January 16, 2018<\/em><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young kids can be reluctant to try new things to eat.
