82 | Picky Eating: A Dietitian's Unique Approach

Exam Room Nutrition: Where Busy Clinicians Learn About Nutrition

If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to figure out how to expand your child’s diet without resorting to begging, bribing, or full-on dinnertime drama, you are not alone. In this episode, we’re discussing:

• Why those adventurous infant eaters turn into selective terrors at age 2.
• Why forcing or bribing kids to eat never works—and what you can suggest parents do instead.
• Simple ways to bring fun back to the dinner table (spoiler alert: it might involve capes or breakfast for dinner!).
• Creative tips to introduce variety to your child’s diet without overwhelming them—or you.
• And how parents can model a healthy relationship with food, even when life gets busy.
