Sometimes they pretend to taste the food - but usually they will at least give it a try before rejecting it! We encourage a “no, thank you” bite here, too!

Usually they say it while they're biting into it, but we're always pleasantly surprised when they go back for more "no thank you" bites :).

Ah yes - isn't it interesting how kids often declare they don't like something before even trying it!

If she says that "she does not like something", then inevitably, he'll say something similar a few minutes later... We deal with it by having a few gentle rules: - You can't say you don't like it before even tasting it! - You are allowed not to like something but you have to put it in a nice way "it's good but it's not my favorite dish" for instance. - If there is something someone does not like, we talk about it so as to acknowledge each other tastes... - Mostly we talk about all the things we like to show that what we don't like is really small.
