We all want our children to get the best from life. Learning to eat a wide range of nutritious foods is one very important step in helping them to protect their health throughout their lives.
Food refusal and fussy eating is a common behaviour for toddlers but can drive parents to distraction.
The Community Nutrition Unit in partnership with the Dietitians Association of Australia, Tasmania Branch has developed a fun video and information booklet to help. The video and booklet covers five key messages around feeding our children.
- Managing food refusal
- Sharing food tasks
- Understanding children ’s natural appetites
- Avoiding negative food messages
- Encouraging new foods
