Avoiding Mealtime Battles

Avoiding Mealtime Battles

Are family mealtimes turning into mealtime meltdowns? 

We are nearing the end of nutrition month 2017 where the focus has been Taking the Fight Out of Food. For many families, mealtimes have become a battleground. I work with many parents who come to me, seeking advice on feeding their picky or fussy eater.  More than 30% of parents report having a picky eater at home! As a pediatric Registered Dietitian, I feel that number is too high, and I believe we can do better.
