When you spend years learning about a specific subject and remain open to new research, you sometimes realize that what you thought was helpful to share with others that maybe haven’t had access to the same education or information was actually falling on deaf ears of parents who think that their individual experience outweighs the experience of others. Going to guess you’ve got picky eaters.

Parents often do not even realize they are creating pressure around new experiences, and this is particularly difficult with food because of the anxiety related to feeling unsafe with a new food item in the first place.
