💨 Abstract

Paediatric dietitian Lucy Upton offers tips to manage picky eating and faux pas like watching TV while eating. She advises avoiding pressurising language and labeling foods as "good" or "bad." Key strategies include family-style serving, minimizing distractions, and avoiding excessive snacking. Parents should model healthy eating and maintain a stress-free mealtime environment. Upton emphasizes that communication and setting age-appropriate boundaries can significantly improve the dining experience for young children.
