This journey of appetite solutions is not a one time one size fits
all gig. If you are beginning your journey then please remember,
"Nothing done well is done once." It takes many failures to
succeed in your child's appetite solutions. There is no magic wand,
potion or a secret treatment.
Each child is different in their way of processing and objectively going through with a plan of action that involves them undertaking such a whole new way of thinking. Something new is not allowed in their routine and if it is then it needs to be scrutinized and broken down for entry so to speak. You know what? That's perfectly OK!
I mean do we expect our own child/children to except something new in their lives when we ourselves are basically the same way? The quick answer is "yes." But if we slow down and not only recognize but except this way of thinking then we can begin that journey you have been talking about with experiencing a new food.
Let me break it down for you in a manner that which you will understand. Not only is your child a literal thinker but he/she also has a brain that is programmed to think a certain way. It is your job to re-program that way of thinking. Begin with simple steps so the both of you are comfortable and see success.
Simple steps
1. Expose the child to the new food in a verbal sense.
2. Keep a food journal
3. Learn about sensory input and output
4. Expose the child to the new food in a sensory friendly and safe
environment
Remember this.....Nothing done well is done once.
I wish you well in your adventures.
