If your child is a picky eater and refuses to eat or try new foods, the University of Maryland Medical Center offers these suggestions:

Health Tips

* Set an example by eating various healthy foods yourself.

* Fix foods that are attractive. Decorate your child’s plate with bright, colourful foods with different consistencies.

* If your child isn’t hungry, don’t force the issue. When children are hungry enough, they will eat.

* Stay away from sugary treats. Instead, offer fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

* Make healthy eating a tradition. Start early by offering a variety of baby foods when the child is as young as 6 months.
