Get him involved in helping to choose, prepare and cook tea, allow him to eat small portions, 1 pea is better than no peas!

Ask him to try a teaspoon of a new food and try to ignore any funny faces or comments.

Do you all sit down together to eat? I would give him very little attention while your all at the table as i have found children often eat better when no one is watching/hurrying them up.
