Breaking Food JagsLeila MoinpourFall 2012
Get parents of picky 2-3 year old eaters to expose their children to new healthy
foods with at least 5-10 repetitions because studies show that the many children tend to have a fear of new
foods and this exposure will encourage your child to eventually taste and like
the foods given.
Priority Mapping
Target Behavior
Get parent to mix in weekly target food
into child’s meal each day.

• http://www.ted.com/talks/jamie_oliver.html
Trials
For the parents who watched the video
• How to select the target food for the week became an obstacle, making the task too difficult to accomplish, so a few parents stopped after gaining information about what foods were healthy.
Next Time
Will test with a different approach to making the task of choosing and buying the target
food easier to do
