1. Involve children in meal preparation: The sooner kids take an active role in helping to make meals, the more they begin to accept new foods and the less picky they are. Kids as young as two to three can be involved by scrubbing potatoes, tearing lettuce for a salad, arranging vegetables on a platter, shaping cookies or stirring the pancake batter.
