最初に知っておきたいのは、保護者が嫌いなものは、子供も好きになれないということです。普段から「まずい、嫌い」と聞かされているものを美味しいと思えないのは当然です。また、嫌がるものを無理に食べさせても、いやな思い出が残るばかりで、よい結果は出ません。
それに対して、最初は苦手だった食べ物でも、周囲の大人たちが「美味しいね」と笑顔で食べている姿を見て興味が湧き、食べられるようになることがあります。つまり、偏食をなくすには「親子で一緒に楽しみながら」がコツなのです。

The first thing to understand is that children cannot easily come to like foods that their parents or guardians dislike. Naturally, children cannot think something tastes good when they regularly hear adults saying, “It tastes bad; I don't like it.” Moreover, forcing children to eat foods they dislike will only leave unpleasant memories and will not produce good results.
By contrast, even with foods they initially dislike, children may become interested after seeing the adults around them eating with smiles and saying, “This is delicious,” and eventually become able to eat them. In other words, the key to overcoming picky eating is for “parents and children to enjoy food together.”
