Toddler not eating? Here are tips to encourage better eating habits
A toddler who won't eat anything is normal, but why do they refuse food?

Your toddler will go through many phases as they hit developmental milestones, and sometimes turning their nose up at foods they once loved is one of those phases. Even if you started with a super-easy baby who eats everything you give them, toddlers have a mind of their own. Suddenly, you have a child who won't eat anything other than goldfish crackers, chicken nuggets, and Cheez-Its. Toddlers don't get a bad rap for nothing. The terrible twos and "threenager" years have earned their titles because these are the stages of development when children master the word "no."

One of the main ways toddlers exert their newfound independence is by refusing to eat anything that they previously loved. It's an incredibly frustrating time for parents, but having a toddler who suddenly won't eat isn't the end of the world. It's actually common, and in some cases, completely normal. Here are a few ideas and tips if your toddler won't eat and what to do if you have concerns.

A mother helping her toddler on the potty

Potty training is a huge milestone for both the child and the parent.

Why do kids eat boogers? Tips to curb this behavior
Boogers don't taste good, so why do kids eat them?

Even though kids are adorable and funny and oh-so-cute, they're also sometimes kind of gross. The things your sweet child sometimes does can be super disgusting. Ask any teacher. One of the most cringe-worthy things kiddos do is eat their boogers. Every child does it. You may not remember it, but if you asked your parents, they’ll say they caught you a time or two trying your own nose boogs.

Why do kids eat boogers in the first place? It seems like "don't eat your snot" is something parents should never have to say. Well, children are weird and will try anything if left unattended. You always encourage your child to try new things and unfortunately, the taste of their boogers is on the list. Most parents, though, don't want their kids experimenting with the taste of boogers. So, let us help you get your child’s nose-picking (and taste testing) under control by understanding why kids eat boogers in the first place.
