The cure for picky-eating anxiety: no judgment, no rewards, dessert is just another food

A child's relationship with food does not hinge on whether they ate any particular thing. It hinges on whether the parent sorts food into good and bad, whether dessert gets used as a reward, and whether the parent gives themselves permission to feed according to what the child actually needs. The earlier picky-eating signals are recognized, the easier they are to change.
