Mom's worry about their children getting enough nutrition when they are not eating well. Here is a great video that gives some great ideas on how to address picky eating.
Most kids will out grow picky eating. A picky eater will generally have about 30 foods they will eat, while a problem eater may only have about 20.
Don't get discouraged if your picky eater does not respond to your efforts right away. It takes patience. Also, remember their bodies are developing rapidly and sometimes they need to experience something several times before they will accept it.
If your child does not eat a particular food the first time, try it again. Give them many tries (20-30) at that food before you give up on it.
And also, if you want your child to eat certain foods, be willing to do so yourself. Even if you don't like a certain food, they will follow your lead.
