Picky Eater?

Try These Tips From The Meal Makeover Moms

When my children complain about something I’m serving, I still request they eat a small amount, but I listen to why they don’t like it and make adjustments. I used to serve broccoli with a cheese sauce on top because I know my children love cheese.

But apparently they prefer broccoli plain—either cooked or raw. If raw, they like it with ranch dressing for dipping. When it’s cooked, they prefer it barely cooked—not soggy, and separate from the cheese sauce. —Teena, mother of Aaron, age 5 and Angelica, age 11
