If a child does not like a food when they try it for the first time
a. their preference should be respected and they should not be encouraged to try it again.
b. they should be offered a reward if they eat a reasonable amount of the food.
c. they should be encouraged to eat at least five bites to see if their taste buds adjust.
d. they should be offered the food at least 8 to 10 times before deciding whether they like it.
D
Children often need to be exposed to new food 8 to 10 times before they will accept them. Re-warding children for eating foods and forcing them to eat specific amounts do not usually en-courage acceptance. They should be offered the food again because one time is not sufficient to determine food preferences.
