It's also common for them to have what experts call food jags. That is, they insist on eating the same few foods at every meal. Picky eating can also be a preschooler's way of declaring his/her independence ("You can't make me eat that"). It may have less to do with the actual food than a need to test the limits of your authority and assert some control over his/her life.
To begin with you need to understand that your toddler has an innate sense of how much food his/her body needs to grow and be healthy, and it's up to them to decide what they're going to eat. The best thing you can do is provide a wide variety of healthy food in a positive, relaxed environment so mealtimes are enjoyable for everyone. Here are some specific tips on how to handle a picky eater:
