It's perfectly normal for young children to suddenly decide they hate everything-even foods they loved
yesterday.It's also common for them to go on what experts call food jags-that is,they want to eat the same
few foods over and over again at every meal,while turning up their noses at anything new."It's a fear of new
things," says Nancy,Hudson,a researcher in University of California,Berkeley."We think it's one of those
quirks (怪癖) that humans probably developed to protect themselves as mankind came into this world.You
don't try new things because you don't know if they're safe." Children like familiar things,whether they're their
beds or their aftemoon tea,so most kids won't try new foods until they've been shown to them many times.
Picky (挑剔的) eating can also be a child's way of showing his independence.This is why forcing a child
to eat often makes things worse.Finally,it may seem like your child cannot sit still long enough to eat very
much at one sitting because of his short attention.But children are generally good at getting what they need,
even if it doesn't seem like much to you.In any case,you can try to keep your child at the table longer by
making mealtime as calm and regular as possible,without too many distractions (分心的事物) like toys,TV,
or pets.
