He ate a burger!

My son said last night for the first time ever, ‘Mummy, take a pic for Insta!’, so I naturally obliged. A kid eating a burger, so what? He is 10 and only just started to try them. He eats mince in other ways, but never wanted a burger.

Never give up. Give them space, keep offering. Be laissez faire about it. They’ll do it in their own time, not ours.

I have a popular online doc, ‘How to get your kids to eat new food’. It’s dietitian approved with practical easy-to-implement fussy eating tips.

What food would you like your child to try?
