From 24 to 36 months: Enjoy…
At about 2 or 3 years, most children go through a period of opposition and rejection of what is new. This is normal; it is part of their development value.
If your child refuses a dish, do not conclude too quickly that he does not like. Continue to present it to him from time to time in another form.
Experience shows that the child must be allowed to become familiar with new foods so that he or she can enjoy them. It will be all the easier when he sees his parents, and his brothers and sisters eat of everything. They will follow the example.
Between 2 and 3 years old, children’s diet is similar to that of the older ones, but they still need food adapted to their age
