Picky Eaters Plates - How To Get A Child To Eat
Having picky eater at home can be stressful and frustrating, children can become fixated on eating certain foods and advoiding others, they are highly suspicious of anything placed on their plate, maybe they don't like to sit down and eat at meal times and are destructive while the rest of the family are trying to eat.
Something that can help with a fussy eater is a colorful plate featuring a message or picture that the child can see when the plate is empty, I have featured some of my own designs here which can be personalized, as well as some tips on using them to combat fussy eating and to get a child to eat with family at dinner time.

My Friends Fussy Eater
My friend has a picky eater at home and she had tried everything, he was three when his picky eating got to the stage that he wasn't eating hardly a thing, and when he did he would only eat fries, he would sit there and eat them so slowly that they would go cold, then he would refuse to eat them until they were re-heated again, over and over. Other times he would just run round and round and not even sit down and eat.
My Friend Was In Despair!
She tried everything to get him to eat more including taking him to the doctor, the doctor did not seem bothered and said it was normal, we were having a chat about it one day and I remembered a plate that my parents got me when I was little, it had a horse on it and I couldn't wait to eat my dinner so that I could see the horse. I mentioned this to my friend and she went to try to get a colorful plate for her child, in the end she had to settle for a plastic baby plate with a cartoon on it as there were no colorful plates for older children.
A Solution To Her Problem...
The plate worked and with coaxing and encouragement from my friend her child started to focus more at the dinner table, she would show him the plate before she dished up the dinner, then give it to him and say in a really fun way that he had to find the cartoon by eating the food, she started off with fries which she showed him that he could move to see the cartoon.
After a while he was wanting to eat normal sized dinners again but the baby plate was too small and he didn't want to give it up...My friend ended up getting another plate and giving him two plates at dinner.
It is this that inspired me to create some cool plates for picky kids!
