We recommend that you offer a variety of tastes and textures and see what your toddler will accept. They can be finicky but if you are patient and don&#39;t make a huge deal about what your child eats (easier said than done!) eventually they will learn to enjoy many foods. Janice&#39;s daughter loves raw cauliflower and won&#39;t touch it cooked. Some kids love frozen peas but not cooked peas. Some like things crunchy, others mushy. It&#39;s a matter of experimentation, and again, patience. Good luck and let us know if you have further questions.<BR/>Best,<BR/>Janice &amp; LizThe Meal Makeover Momswww.mealmakeovermoms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1584888951419776675.post-70236518153881261632008-08-16T16:32:00.000-07:002008-08-16T16:32:00.000-07:00I love the idea of a "no thank you bite" since it gives the kids a sense of control -- and they may discover they actually LIKE what they say they don't want. I'll be implementing that in my house.
