Ready to tackle the power struggle at the dinner table? In Part I, we talked about the development of feeding issues. Part II of our deep dive into how to improve picky eating. We're rolling up our sleeves with strategies designed to keep mealtimes calm, empower kids to try new foods without pressure, and, yes, make sure chicken nuggets don’t become the dinner default. We’ll walk you through “eating in a circle” and share our top tips for nurturing kids’ natural hunger cues—all without the Clean Plate Club mentality. If your child will try at least take one bite, this episode is for you!
