No food battles: If she is growing in height along her own curve, give her a few healthy choices of foods, let her have it for 15-20 minutes, then take it away. No fight, no battle. Do not substitute sugar drinks in between. It sometimes takes up to 10 times to try a new food. Give her one or two new foods with other foods. Make them appealing and tasty. If she doesnt eat it- no fight.
