Don't give up! Experts at the Women's Center of Washington Hospital Center say that children may need to be exposed to a food up to 10 times before they will accept it.

More strategies for dealing with picky eaters:

• Do not reward eating a new food with dessert, it only encourages the dislike of the food more
• Give generous praise for eating the new food
• Set a good example by trying new dishes and eating a variety of foods yourself
• Offer nutritious snacks between meals that incorporate new items
• Keep serving them up!
