Some children don’t eat certain foods, so try to focus on the good foods they do enjoy, and not on the ones they don’t. For example, your child may not like carrots but is very happy to eat tomatoes, so encourage him to do so. Make sure that your child has ready access to natural foods that satisfy the two most common cravings. These cravings are for sweet and salty foods. The reason we crave sweet foods is that nothing in the body works properly without the fuel glucose, and when you are not getting enough glucose, your body sends out a signal in the form of a craving for sweet things. Provide plenty of fresh and preservative-free dried fruit on a daily basis. In fact, try to include one whole meal a day that consists entirely of fresh fruit and offer your child fruit
