There are some great tips here, especially the ones about being careful not to over-do the snacks and encouraging children to get stuck in in the kitchen. It would be great if these ten things could solve picky eating but there's usually more to it in my experience! I also think that often it's not about 'remedying' picky eating, but more to do with understanding that it's a developmentally normal phase. The challenge is around how to wait it out without inadvertently getting stuck there... My work with parents is often concerned with helping them understand how their reactions to their children's eating play into the situation - this is a massive factor that should not be overlooked.
