Rainbow Salads for All!
This is an example of how repeated exposure has paid off in my house. By consistently making colorful salads and presenting it without giving a choice, it has become OK to try.
I hand out the salad and then say: "Dressing? Or no dressing?"
Given the option, the right answer becomes "no dressing" rather than "no thank you". I then randomly include new veggies in there without saying a word. If they are curious, they ask me what it is or ask me for more. If not, I don't mention it initially. If it gets eaten, I will say: "Looks like you liked the cauliflower."
Welcome to Picky Foodies! My name is Edith Benisty. I am a mother and a Pediatric Occupational Therapist. I have created this blog as a place to gather my recipes, share advice, ideas and experiences. It serves as a witness to my journey as a foodie and hopefully provides parents, friends, caregivers and therapists with resources, cool links, cooking ideas and encouragement as you embark in the great adventure of feeding toddlers.
