The article narrates a family's journey in parenting, focusing on the challenges of encouraging healthy eating habits in their son, Levi. Initially, Levi enjoyed a wide variety of foods but became selective around 15 months, preferring only chicken nuggets and rice. The parents researched strategies to restore his adventurous palate and gradually reintroduced previous favorites, like tofu with black bean sauce. They aimed to create an encouraging environment for Levi to explore different flavors, ultimately leading to a mix of familiar comfort and new experiences in his diet.
Calvin and I went down Reddit holes and scoured mommy blogs, eager to find any trick to restore our son's adventurous palate.
We worked our way up, spoonful by spoonful over the next several weeks, until Levi's dinner looked like ours.
At two years old, he still consumes an alarming number of chicken nuggets, and some days he's more daring than others.
But creating an environment where our son can feel comfortable exploring food choices has been rewarding.
