Springer employs unique strategies to help her toddler, Logan, avoid picky eating. She refrains from directly asking if he dislikes food, which may reinforce negative perceptions. Instead, she seeks other reasons for his reaction, such as food temperature or texture. By using a baby-led weaning approach, she introduces a variety of healthy foods to Logan. Springer emphasizes that children's food preferences can vary based on preparation methods, encouraging the exploration of different presentations to broaden their taste experiences.
When he expresses dislike to something in his mouth, our first question is never, 'Do you not like it?' I feel like that subconsciously makes him think he doesn't like it.
There are so many different reasons why a child might not like something, from texture to taste. Take broccoli, for example, which you can have it so many different ways: steamed, grilled, fried, mashed, in a soup blended.
