Oh no 😢 link is broken
I've been guilty of being a short-order cook, but not only because my son is picky, but because the wife and daughter are picky, too. Going to have to be more firm. Thanks for the tips
I love the funny names tip! My kids will eat split pea and bacon soup because I’ve started to call it the “grinch soup”😊. Thanks for the great tips!
Of my goodness I don't eat a stir fry, I like my vegetables raw etc. I have high functioning aspergers and separating foods to the degree that I will use separate plates at times is one of my traits. The more you said the more I felt less lonely as someone else has some similar food conditions. I only have had all but 1 metre of my intestine removed over time when its blocked by ulcers due to having crohns disease. Between these two health issues eating is a chore that causes severe pain. It takes me at least four hours a day to eat enough calories. The funny thing is I love to cook Xx
My daughter is beyond picky, it's like shes scared of the foods. I have no idea what to do, I've tried and tried to get her to eat.... I've tried super nice, I've tried begging, ive gotten angry, she baffles me. Shes a very good little girl but she just wont eat hardly anything. She does however like some things others wouldn't like brocolli. But she wont eat a hot dog! (Which she use to eat sometimes!!!)
I am facing 100% what you have written. Even took psychologist help but so far no use. She is 7and half year old. She was eating everything till 2.6 years of age but than got severely sick was hospitalized for almost a month and since then she is suffering from this being extremely picky eater
Yes my son is the same I also don’t know why to do
My son too!
An adult picky eater here- turns out my aversion to certain foods is a disorder. I still struggle with it, but I’d recommend acting like it’s not there. Don’t make it a fuss, just serve small (SUPER SMALL VEG) portions of the whole meal to her, sit down and eat your meal. Let her come to terms that she is still hungry after finishing everything she likes, and let her know she can have more of what she likes once she clears her plate. Don’t praise her for eating them, don’t scold her for not eating them. The negative association with certain foods is only heightened when an emotional association is formed.
My son has issue with fruits , won't even taste one. I have tried everything... Not sure what to do..
I love the stick tip! I'm going to try that
I’m not watching this because my kids are picky eaters, I’m watching this because my fiancé is a picky eater. My kids are very good eaters. They are ages three and four. They literally eat anything and everything. When they are hungry they reach for vegetables. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t like to change their diapers because they eat so much vegetables. Yes, they are still in diapers, I am struggling with that big-time. Anyway, short story long, I’m watching this because my fiancé is a picky eater. I haven’t watch this video yet, but I know it will be great. I absolutely love your videos!
Thanks for the comment, and good luck with your fiancé's eating habits, and your kids potty training!
Tell him that he has to cook on the odd or even days. Period!
Done.
Major Old Lady aka, Mom
That is actually a great idea, thank you so much!
Lol I have the same problem with my husband. I love him, but his refusal to eat 99% of vegetables drives me crazy sometimes 😂
Enjoyed all of this. It's a week-long process to think of something new to try for my picky eaters. Then I get the good try look, Dad. Thank you for this!
Awesome tips!!
I love these recipes. I will definitely try some of them
All my almost 2 yr old son ever wants to eat are nuggets and fries 😩 I’m praying these tips help!
These were GREAT!!!
my husband and I both grew up being picky eaters, and in aome ways we still are. even though we dont have kids yet, these are some seriously great ideas that will work for us adults! plus, we'll already have some practice when we do have kids ❤
Thank you, we are in the picking eating stage and will defiantly try some of your tips. Thank you
Thank you!!!
I hit the jackpot , thanks
great tips
Good ways, thank you
Thanks alot for tips
Good information
Excellent presentation! ;)
I love your personality . Great video i love the tips
Love your presentation style 😊
That black forest smoothie is soooo good!
This was soooo helpful thank you so much!!! This is the content we need 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
thank you , it is great idea
Thank you so so much for sharing wonderful tips! I got a kitchen helper so my toddler involved the cooking! Omg he starting want to try new foods and vegetables
No one asked
Amazing tips and ideas! ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing 🥰
Shush
Nice tips!
Thanks for your video I hope it will help me
Great video! If a child continually rejects certain foods, like things seasoned with garlic and onions, I suggest that parents check out whether their child has acid reflux. I know of 2 cases of this. Also, be on the lookout for food sensitivities; their mouth breaking out from raw apples for example. Sometimes kids have a hard time interpreting what they are experiencing when they eat certain foods, but they know they are having a negative feeling, and their natural inclination is to reject the food.
Excellent points!
Strawberries, peanut butter?
We can all have unidentified food allergies, even into adulthood.
My granddaughter complained of not liking milk and cheeses... after a little investigation, she said she would get an upset stomach after drinking or eating dairy ... found out she wasn't exactly lactose intolerant but her body didn't digest the proteins in dairy properly... medication worked and she can now drink/eat small amounts....
God bless you😊
You are one entertaining teacher! I am binge watching your videos because they are informative and so much stinking FUN!!!
Great video. My 3 year old won’t touch veggies and is very picky (or particular you could say)... loves fruit thank God. Going to try cut out the snacking and try some of these tips. LOVE the smoothie recipe - I’m off to the store now to buy the ingredients haha
nice presentation ❤
great tips great video...thanks !
Thanks for watching!
Found a few tips to use with my grandkiddos 🥰 Thankie!!
Love your videos! 😍
Yay! Thank you!
Love these tips! I am definitely guilty of letting my daughter snack on things like fruit & peanut butter crackers all the time, so I’m going to try cutting down on the amount of snacks she gets and see if that helps! She loves fruit, meat, beans, rice, potatoes, but absolutely refuses veggies!!!
Have you tried it with soups added with lemon juice, spinach, croutons and whole fat yoghurt (toasted whole grain bread) as sauce rather than as food? Ie serve them with their favourite dish then put a little in the soup and see how they react to that.
So try veggies that arent high in iron. Some kids are sensitive to it
If you don't have picky eaters, you wouldn't understand. None of these tips would work with my children. They aren't silly, they don't want broccoli in any form. They don't like dips. They don't like beans and would detect them in the mince. It just doesn't work. When kids get older than toddlerhood, they know!
"Family style" eating was a concept introduced to the head start classroom years ago. It requires the teacher to sit and eat with the students at breakfast and lunch. All the items (in separate bowls/platters) are placed in the center of the table just as you'd do at home. As a result, the children tend to feel more relaxed and inclined to try new foods by watching the teacher. I believe that if more families made a regular habit of eating together (w no phones, etc at the table), children would develop a healthier relationship with food.
You are great ‼️👍. I think I have found a new favorite channel 🥰
Wow, thank you!
Doll the dice game!❤
Just a tip: sometimes adding lime juice and a pinch of salt.. enhances the falvor of some veggies such as broccoli, raddish, onions, califlowers, leafy salads :).. it is worth a try.
My pickle lover tried picked okra and he gave it a super thumbs up!!! I like them even more than cucumber pickles
Whenever we sat down to eat as a child and I said I didn’t like something, my dad would say, “Good. there’s that much more for me!” I remember thinking, “Maybe I should eat something before it’s all gone.” lol It worked..
I LOVE it! My boys are teens and we have sorta already got into some bad habits. WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THAT! I love this approach, it makes absolute sense. Now if I could just get them to be excited about a shrek smoothie, we will be in business :P
Just get them involved in the kitchen and only give them healthy ingredients to be creative with plus olive oil, cheese and carbs to a limited extent.
I will try some of these tips my almost two year old is refusing to eat a lot of things all of a sudden
Good advice! Luckily my son never was a picky eater except for one or two items he really and absolutely did not like and I think everybody is entitled to that. While I am with you on that zucchini bread I would put the broccoli cream soup in that same category, though. You just cover it up with lots of fatty cheese and cream instead of lots of sugar. But all the other tricks and tips were great as long as you portion the dip.
Thanks Sylvia!
Okay I was expecting at least a small amount of mom shaming here (it's the internet) and I was proven wrong. Thank you for your 100% unbiased and non shaming tips. My 5 year old ate anything put in front of him until he turned 2. Now he won't eat much, so I'm gonna try these tips.
Thank you for watching!
My two year old knows what he likes and doesn't like to try new things. Im hoping he will grow out of it but I will definitely gives these tips a try. Thanks 🙏
My daughter used to be picky. I started telling her that whatever I was making us all for dinner is what she gets for dinner and nothing else unless she eats it all and just wants more. It was hard at first just because she knows how to make me feel bad lol but I stayed firm and now she eats anything I make. Obviously there are some foods she legitimately just doesn't like so i just dont cook them but i never let her say she doesn't like something she hasnt tried or just because she wants something different.
Hi!! Thanks for the info, but any tips for a 2yr old that says yuck to broccoli and yum to breast milk literally
Does anyone have the proportions for the Black Forest Smoothie? It seems to have been taken off MyRecipes
You make me laugh your funny 😆
Wouldn't unsweetened coco powder taste bitter?
The funny name thing works, my daughter has been calling broccli "dinasour trees" since she was a toddler. She also pretends to be a dinosaur when eating it! Lol
I’m 11 and I’m literally watching this for MY DAD LIKE IM THE ONE AT THE STORE ASKING HIM TO PUT THE POP BACK AND GET LETTUCE
My daughter has a bit of picky eating but the other way around.. she loves the ones like peas or beans.. she loves plain steamed broccoli but she doesn’t like cheese or meat so much..her doctor said maybe she loves more healthy food😅
Heads up: don't stick to the 'they'll eat when they're hungry' if they skip it for more than 2 meals in a row.
My parents used that tactic on me; I was undiagnosed autistic and had severe sensory issues.
My parents didn't know I had any issues, and neither did I, as they thought that I was just weird as a kid.
The issue with the 'They'll eat when they're hungry' however, was the feeling of going hungry for me was less unpleasant than eating the foods that caused unpleasant sensory stimulation. Eventually, I had to get taken to the hospital because I went 2 weeks without eating, and by the time they had given in and tried giving me food I was comfortable with and enjoyed, I didn't want to eat ***anything*** because the idea of eating any food became uncomfortable and overstimulating sensory-wise.
It might not be autism, there are plenty of disorders in children that can cause picky eating, but don't make the mistake of assuming 'My kid doesn't have any of those things'. Picky eating is a sign of an underlying problem, and it may never get solved unless that underlying problem is addressed first.
It's similar to assuming that you might not get into a serious care crash until it happens.
Well just in, my parents failed the first tip when I was a kid. I can just imagine how different things could have been, huh.
Spread the Gospel
Do those vitamins still taste like chalk??
Broccoli has always been my favorite veggie 😍 mom used to struggle making me eat other veggies when I was little 😂
“I don’t like disguising food”, fast forward 5:38, “you have.. no ..idea... there’s anything green in here”
The point is that they have to know what's in there, but it's not apparent
wish my grandson would even eat mac and cheese, won't drink a smoothie, it has to plain apple juice, if it's even slightly thicker, forget it. I did an apple and banana smoothie, he took one drink and got mad it wasn't apple juice. But at least he eats kale chips and hummus. that's the only thing I've gotten him to eat. But he has uticara and the hummus turns his chin and mouth all red for two hours.
What happens when your son won't even eat the damn Flintstone vitamin!? He's so beyond picky. What kid doesn't like Flintstone vitamins? Lol
Both of my kids are picky. My 3 year old daughter won't eat most meat, but will eat nuts, hummus, cheese and yogurt and loves salad. My son is protein deficient and slightly anemic. He also won't eat much if any protein including nuts, hummus, seeds, cheese, yogurt, sandwich meat or sandwiches unless pb and j (and he doesn't like peanut butter). He will eat lettuce as a salad only with lemon juice. No more green beans, cucumbers, peppers, peas, broccoli. No mashed potatoes, ground meat, meatballs. He doesn't like mac and cheese or hot dogs or hamburger, dressings, sauces etc. The list goes on and on and on. I do make smoothies with carrots and cucumber and other veggies/fruits 2-3 times a week, but it hasn't been enough to keep him healthy. And he doesn't like chocolate.
It has been two days we could use another video.
What can I substitute for unsweetened coca powder
Cinnamon, vanilla extract, nut butter...
What if your kids don’t like anything covered in sauce or dipped into anything 😭
What worked for me is I put a little dollop of sauce (ranch, syrup, etc) then I showed my son how to grab the food and dip it into the sauce himself. He's only 16 months though, so I don't know if it would work for older kids 😅
Well the problem is my kid won't eat any sauce.
It's hard to sneak anything
Need this for my husband 🙄
My youngest I swear I've tried it all but she's the biggest pain...
She would eat pizza rolls fine but would squeeze the insides out because we'll there is 'black spots' otherwise known as seasoning. My friend one day opened one up and showed her she's been eating it the whole time...she didn't touch them again for a month and now that she's willing to eat them again she still won't eat the insides...
Mac and cheese ...she use to like the cup mac and cheese but it had to be served in a bowl....now she won't eat boxed mac it has to be from the cup because the two are apparently not the same and she refuses to eat it...we even tricked her and saved a cup from a previous time she ate it and the next time we made it on the stove we served it in the cup and she took it fine. We then asked if she wanted any from the stove and she said "never"
She gags at the sight of something new, I'm lucky if she will even lick something to count that as a taste. Nothing stays in her mouth long and she might even admit she liked something a tiny bit later but in the moment will gag
Maybe try to get her to help in the kitchen? To see everything and taste directly as she is cooking, maybe having that bit of control over what she is eating might help her become more familiar. I was also very very picky like this when I was younger because I was force fed and my mom used to hide foods inside other things from me, so I became suspicious of her. The only way I try foods is to take my time, have a glass of water or juice near in case I dislike the flavor a lot, and to know how it was prepared. Sometimes I just can't eat more than a little bit, but sometimes I am surprised by something I really like.
Also check what she dislikes about foods. She may dislike some textures, smells or flavors, and that may be what she can't pass, but also, maybe she doesn't like the smell of the oven/microwave and dislikes the idea of something cooked there, or she may just be scared somehow.
Sorry if you have already tried this, I know how hard it is to get such a picky eater to eat new foods, as I was one.
This is exactly my daughter. We’re perplexed at what to do to get her to eat something different.
YES, I need help with 3 year old son. He don't like veggies
The good thing about veggies is that you can incorporate them into dishes he does like, hopefully without him noticing. Ie meatloaf, casseroles, curries,, fishcakes, fritters and even sweet potatoe fries.
Grate them into the tiniest slices, season them, fry or steam them and add them to dish.
I'm sorry but I don't know if I can watch a video have a mom who says her kids are not picky eaters when the whole point is trying to get my picky eater to eat. How do you know if it works if your kids are not picky eaters
im not a mom but im a picky eater and i'm trying to eat new foods and like- i always want to eat them but as soon as they'rr given to me i suddenly don't want to and idk whats wrong with me ;-;
Nothing is wrong with you :) it's natural to hesitate when trying something we are not sure we'll like. Your brain has been wired to associate those things with not so awesome results. Take a deep breath and only commit to a small bite. Baby steps and you'll get there
Take your time, it's kinda scary but you can do it, have a bit of juice or water near so in case you hate it, you can change flavors fast. Never force yourself to eat them, but if you truly hate them, just put them in a blender with some food you like and forget they are there.
I can't believe I'm watching this
Not me as an adult trying to eat healthy 👍🥲
When you're watching this cuz you want to stop being a picky eater
Do keto no carbs or sugar. It's the best
Severe picky eaters usually have other challenges like sensory processing issues, food allergies, etc. They won’t eat even when they’re hungry, because food literally feels like hurting them. Many “tips” given here sadly won’t apply to them. If you have a severe picky eater, I hope you understand it’s not because you did or didn’t do something, and licensed feeding specialists are much more qualified than UA-cam videos to solve your child’s issue…
in that build a meal, he won't touch any of that except the cheese. And he won't even try soups or any type of pasta with a sauce, It has to be plain.
Maybe you could try healthy pasta? Like spinach or tomato pasta, instead of putting it on the sauce?
Have you tried pasta made of chickpeas or lentils?
Hah, so en pointe! 🤗🤣🤗 👍
Roasted 2 chickens at a time to freeze the meat into some ZIP-style bags? Single parent.
He was 3rd grade. Let it cool. Got a step stool for him to help debone it in the kitchen, separate it from the bones, cartelage, skin, etc.
Major lol!
He said, eeeeew. This is gross, mom!!!
I calmly said to him, Sooo, where did you think Chicken McNuggets, Chicken noodle soup, chicken fajitas came from?
Still chuckling 20 years later.
Hey, cut me some slack. I was flipping a former drug house, single parent, alarm set for 5 a.m., and crashed just before midnight for over 3 years straight.
He hated the texture of broccoli. Mom, feels like bugs in my mouth... and where, exactly did he learn THAT from?? Something tells me that I do not want to know, lol!
Pulled put the Juicer, juiced a few pounds of broccoli, sprayed a couple of ice cube trays w vege oil, froze it, put into zip bag in the freezer door, and it went in the soup at the last minute or on his highchair tray when he was teething, and the weather was hot. Put some popcycle sticks in, and you have healthy popsicles.
Works w corn, frozen peas, green beans, peaches/cut up fruit, etc.
Find an awesome recipe that they love?
Get them involved!
Tell them, once a month or week, You're planning the meal on X day... make it a BIG deal!
Make them (yes, MAKE, LOL) them go w you to buy the best veges for fajitas, sneak in some blackened onions, bell peppers (make it colorful), smokey/blackened
flavour like bbq), set/put a fajita bar on the table or in the kitchen (allows choice), grab a bag of tortillas... and your child just might be the next Ina Garten, Jacques Pepin, GR (Gordon Ramsay) or Julia Child... !!
Hook them in via their stomach? Of course!
One of his fav foods was chicken noodle soup with garlic dipping bread/toast.
Blueberry bagels, toasted, dipping in blueberry yogurt?
Tortillas w cheese in the oven (straight on the racks) w either mustard or a spoon of Pace mild/medium salsa.
Always make 3-4 times the batch. Why?
1 for now.
1 for tomorrow.
2 for the freezer.
Make a mess, make it a big one, and soon your fridge/freezer will serve you (and time) well, right?
One clean up! Yay! Who doesn't love that??!!??
Amen?
I disagree slightly with the forcing to eat thing. When they prioritize devices throughout the day and barely eat. Heck won’t sometimes even eat breakfast-straight to video games. Then it’s something to cause alarm, they need to eat.
สวัสดีค่ะ🙏 ขอบคุณในคำแนะนำที่ดีค่ะและปรุงให้ทำตามค่ะเยี่ยมๆค่ะ❤
My autistic toddlers just eat the dip if they're presented with food with dips😞
Be careful with canned products! Lots of chemicals and leaks from metals - better to soak beans overnight
Never had a kid scared of some foods it's dose not look good or they just don't want to try it but never scared and never had one intimidated
grandson 6 yrs won't eat pizza won't try nuggets or anything new
Psychologically what is the reason behind this behavior? 🤔 my friends kid only eat rice and fish fries 🍟 I am so worried for her
Mostly it’s parents fault, they buy frozen food because it’s easier, or pasta, or things like that, and when they try to give them veggies, it’s too late because they’re used to those flavors, if you raise your kid without cooking that food, it will be so easy that a kid eats healthier
Ok...I am sorry, I have to point out that if you have three kids who are not fussy eaters, how do you know that this works on fussy eaters?
I think most people have no idea what it's really like to try and feed a fussy eater unless they've been there done that
@@silvanadespotovic3224 exactly, 13 year old with serious fussy eating issues, even went through a university that helps children with fussy eating and they couldn't help. I think it is wrong to advertise for fussy eaters when in fact they don't understand.
@@Fallofasparrow NOPE!! She hasn't got a clue, nor do you!
You don't until you try it.
@@antoinettenovella1630 As a mum with someone with neophobia, I can assure you nothing in this video will help.
Squashed mac and cheese. They'll ask years later.
I want my kids to eat healthy food! It’s not like box mac & cheese! They never like to eat veggies except salad! By seeing those veggies in this video they would say ewww! So hard and so stressful to feed picky eater kid.
My son will literally eat nothing that was shown except the mac n cheese. If I mix anything in it he will not eat anything else the rest of the day.
Picky eating is genetic. If your child is very picky to the point of aversions, please see a dr about acid reflux or other issues.
I can't help but think how different my life would be if my mom did any of this.
What about the dad's sheesh
If u add lime juice to ochra when frying reduces the slime
This is about fussy baby eaters, not about fussy childish men.
