“Take three more bites and then you can be done.” Sound familiar? Yeah, we hear that a lot! This week, hosts Dr. Jill Wilson and Dr. Roseanne Lesack dive into the fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) world of picky eating. In this first of a two-part series, Dr. Jill and Dr. Roseanne break down why picky eating is actually a developmentally typical phase for most kids. They cover the tricky "food jags" and how American food culture doesn’t exactly help with its endless aisles of salty, sweet, and bland kid-friendly options. Stick around to learn what’s typical and where there might be more going on. And stay tuned for part two, where they’ll reveal practical strategies to help your little ones expand their palates without turning mealtime into a battleground!
