Is you child a picky eater?

Dear WhyteHouse Parents,
Feeding a young child has never been simple. But today, it comes with a layer no previous generation dealt with: the tablet at the table.
Many parents tell us mealtimes have become a negotiation. A few more bites in exchange for a few more minutes of screen time. A simple dinner that stretches to an hour and a half. A child who chews but doesn’t seem to swallow because their attention is somewhere else.
This month’s infographic is not a list of rules. It’s a short, research-backed look at what actually happens when screens and meals mix, and what tends to work better.
We are not here to make anyone feel guilty. We are here to share what the studies keep finding, so parents can make decisions that work for their family.
We hope it helps bring a little more calm to your table.
