Fussy eating is common in tamariki (children), and it's common for them to dislike certain foods. Tamariki will gradually eat and explore new foods as they get older. Providing healthy food and an enjoyable eating environment for your child will help them enjoy mealtimes.
A vegetarian eating pattern can be healthy for tamariki (children) and rangatahi (young people). It will take some planning to make sure your child gets all the nutrition they need to grow.
