"Learn to Love Veggies" Tip

What is food chaining? Food Chaining is a child-friendly treatment approach that helps introduce new foods while building on the child’s past successful eating experiences. In this process, the child is presented with new foods that may be similar in taste, temperature, or texture to foods the child already likes and accepts. If your child likes pretzels dipped in hummus, they may be open to trying cucumbers dipped in hummus!
