Mummies, Try This Low-Stress Strategy on How to Get Your Picky-Eating Child to Eat

I still remember how I was one of those "really difficult picky eaters" in my family. I don't fancy any greens (even chickpeas!) on my plate. If there's even a tiny bit of leafy vegetable in my food, I will refuse to eat it. And now, I'm experiencing this struggle with my own kids. Convincing them to eat healthily or try new food is a battle for me almost every day. My husband and I are constantly worried about their health – whether they're getting the essential nutrients for their proper growth and development or not. To ease my worries and bridge the nutritional gaps in my kids, I would always make sure to serve them with the required nutrients that will help support their optimum growth and development. If you're still in doubt about the importance of providing your kids with optimal nutrition at a young age, here are some general info on picky eating that you should know: FUN FACTS on Picky Eating It's no secret that it can be incredibly stressful and upsetting when we find ourselves throwing out yet another plate of our kids' uneaten meals. Feeding problem is very common and Malaysian mummies find it a constant struggle to feed their little picky eaters. They would get worried if their child is not getting the right amount of nutrients. But understand this: The situation is just as stressful for them as it is for you. As mums, we try our best to provide our kids balanced and nutritious meals to support their overall development. After all, we'll always find ways to feed them with the best because only when he's a nourished kid, we'll have complete peace of mind.
