Downloadable resources to improve healthy dietary preferences in young children
Children’s food preferences depend on food familiarity and liking, and research shows that visually familiarizing children with foods before they taste them (e.g. by looking at picture books) increases their willingness to taste, liking and intake of targeted foods. The See & Eat programme provides downloadable resources to support parents in familiarizing preschoolers with vegetables (e.g. interactive e-books, parent guidance).
