As well-meaning parents who want their little ones to stay healthy and thrive, we will try and say anything to get them to eat well.  Or just eat better.  What we don’t realize is that sometimes they do more harm than good.  Here are some mealtime phrases to avoid with picky eaters.

In my last Periscope I shared some of the phrases we say to encourage our children to eat.  But these 3 VERY common phrases often have the opposite effect.  Our kids are likely to eat less despite our good intentions.

So if you have a few minutes have a listen to the 3 things we shouldn’t say to our children at mealtimes.  You know your child best, so these are not rules for every parent, but rather guidelines for those who may have fussier and finicky eaters.  I know they worked for us!

If you worry about your little one’s appetite and nutrition, The Picky Eater Protocol might be just what you and your child need.
