Jane Lanigan, PhD, discusses a new study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior that shows that child-centered nutrition phrases encourage healthy eating, especially when introducing new foods. They found that repeated opportunities for children to become familiar with the food without pressure helped them understand the benefits of healthy eating and increased consumption.
