One new food is enough

A plate with three new foods asks a toddler to be brave about everything at once. Pick one new food and keep the rest familiar.

Why one is the whole job

You can offer that same new food again tomorrow. Repetition is how a food becomes ordinary.

Carrot today, beans tomorrow, and pear the day after is three lessons at once. None of them gets enough time to feel normal.

How to choose the one

Pick a food you can cook again this week without a special trip. Soft carrot, lentils, pear, or peas are ordinary choices.

The rest of the plate should be food they have already accepted. That is the part that fills them while the new food sits there.

What the app is for

This page will not write the seven dinners or the shop list. Those stay in the app, around the one new food you pick.

Tonight you only need the idea: one new food, beside food they already eat.

A sentence you can say

“We have rice, and a little carrot.”
