Bring your child into the kitchen with you as you prepare meals.
Encourage them to smell, touch, and observe different foods. You can even let them help you cook!
Actions that use motor skills, such as stirring, pouring, or shaking, are all fair game for toddlers (under supervision).
Your child’s desire to do things by themselves is a useful thing when it comes to food.
When you give toddlers the right amount of freedom, they feel like they have some control, which may make them eat better.
