REDUCE SNACKS OR MAKE THEM PART OF A MEAL. In my house we snack at 11am and 4pm and that is it. There is sometimes an exception to this rule with play dates or other schedule changes but when the rule is broken it nearly always affects dinner time. If a child is hungry, they are more likely to eat what you provide - simple.
MAKE MEAL TIME FAMILY TIME. My daughter never eats alone, either I eat with her or we eat as a family so that she learns good table manners and also sees that I enjoy my food. Meal times can be an enjoyable part of the day when shared with people. Would you want to eat alone every night?
VARIETY IS KEY. Sometimes kids will eat broccoli and the next day they're bored of broccoli. They can be fickle as we know. If they don’t seem to want a particular veg don’t push them to eat it that day, but keep offering it. One day they are likely to change their mind. By making sure you offer an alternative and different variety each day, hopefully you can find what they like to eat. On a side note, if my daughter will not eat what I give her, she can still eat dessert, usually fruit. However, I will never make something separate for her – she eats what we eat. I believe that by giving in to demands we may be telling children that whenever they say no, we’ll make something they ask for every time. We then aren’t encouraging them to try new foods and it becomes hard work for you. Rather, I avoid making a big deal of the situation and encourage her to eat what she likes from the plate and try again next time.
ASK THEM TO HELP. My biggest tip to make meal times more exciting for kids is to get them involved in the cooking. Let them watch, learn, taste, stir. It’s likely that if they have a hand in making their own meal they will be more willing to taste the fruits of their labor!
