The Picky Eating and Food Habits Program at Fit Karnataka Mission is designed to address the common challenge of picky eating in children, which can hinder their nutritional intake and overall growth. Many children develop selective eating habits due to various factors, including developmental stages, sensory preferences, and exposure to different foods. As a result, they may refuse nutritious options, leading to imbalanced diets and potential health issues.
Clinical nutritionist Pooja Ganesh offers personalized approaches to help parents encourage their children to explore a wider range of foods. Through positive reinforcement, creative meal presentations, and involving children in meal preparation, she helps create a more enjoyable eating experience. The program also emphasizes the importance of a structured mealtime routine and patience in introducing new foods.
By addressing the underlying reasons for picky eating, such as fear of new textures or flavors, Pooja provides practical strategies to promote healthier food choices. Parents learn how to model positive eating behaviors, maintain a stress-free environment, and gradually introduce a variety of nutritious foods, helping children develop lifelong healthy eating habits.
