About this episode

This episode discusses the 'rainbow audit' method to help kids eat more vegetables by involving them in the food selection process.

What if the secret to getting your picky eater to try new foods isn't about the food at all? When parents say "my child will only eat chicken nuggets," this expert reveals a game-changing approach that has nothing to do with bribing or bargaining. The solution lies in involving children in the entire food story - from grocery shopping to kitchen prep - rather than just expecting them to eat what's placed in front of them. Learn the "rainbow audit" method where kids become responsible for identifying missing colors in the fridge, making them invested partners in family nutrition. These aren't just parenting tips - they're tested strategies that address the root causes rather than just the symptoms.
