Parents are often frustrated by the picky eating habits of their children. Children of all ages (and adults) commonly have a few food dislikes, but the peak time for picky eating is the toddler or preschool years.<\/p>\n
Small children dislike foods because they are difficult to chew and are repulsed by foods with a bitter taste. It helps to offer tender meats instead of tough meats, and well-cooked vegetables instead of raw.<\/p>\n

If a child learns during these formative years that eating is a pleasant experience, he will gradually expand the foods he eats.
