Picky Eaters and Apples

How to encourage a picky eater to swallow apples with pare on

You have no idea how happy this pic makes me.

After three years of refusing to eat fresh fruit, my iv yr old picky eater, Charlie, ate an apple.

WITH THE Peel ON.

Here's how nosotros did it (he was 2 years old at this time):

Phase ane: I offered peeled and sliced apple and let Charlie sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on them himself. At the start he'd but lick the cinnamon-sugar topping off and non eat the apple tree slices. Merely he TOUCHED them, which was huge.

Stage 2: We continued with peeled apple tree slices with cinnamon and saccharide, slowly decreasing the amount of sugar offered and slowly increasing the size of the apple slices.

Stage 3: We moved to peeled only large halves of apples and instead of sprinkling the cinnamon-sugar mix, we put that in a small plate for "dipping". Again, continuing to decrease the amount of sugar over time.

Stage iv: I started making "striped" apples (leaving some skin on, peeling some) and offered them to Charlie in halves, no cinnamon or saccharide (he'd whine for it and I'd just say "that'southward not on the menu.") Somewhen he started eating them.

Phase 5 (last week): I put apples on the counter in full sight merely did not offer ane. Charlie asked for i, so I handed him a whole apple and said he could accept information technology merely I didn't have time to peel information technology considering I had to wash the dishes. He ate it. This is that picture.

Now to the new moms out there this may seem insane. And everyone, delight don't go putting sugar on your babe's apple if they are younger than age 2. But trust me, once you are deep in the picky eating arena, it can take some time to set.
