Picky eater? Maybe it's in their genes
If you have a picky eater in your family, how do you get them to try new foods? That is an uphill battle, and if you can't win it, rest in the knowledge that perhaps that eater's genes are really to blame instead of your prized vegetables.The introduction of new foods to kids of all ages is a very tricky proposition, and very few parents I know have mastered it successfully. But, in a recent study, it was found that 80 percent of a child's tendency to avoid new foods was actually an inherited trait. Odd, right?
So, for those parents who have given up trying to get that picky eater to try something new, take a deep breath -- it's no you. If you have not given up, just keep repeating what you've been doing until that new food is accepted. They may even like it after a while.
