Eat well and eat together as much as possible: Whenever you can, eat as a family with your toddler. Eating together also gives you the opportunity to give your toddler plenty of attention. Also, of possible praise when they are eating well.   2. Introduce new foods gently: Offer just one new food at a time. Sometimes you may need to offer new foods for at least 10/15 times before your toddlers are willing to t...
