How to avoid a picky eater?

According to the TikTok parents, every time they get an "I'm hungry," the kids will need to finish the food at the table before eating anything else. Even if the dinner turns out to be a late-night snack, it does not matter for the TikTok parents, as long as the kids only eat the food that they were served.

Although it sounds like there are only a few options for the kids, that is not the case. The kids are still allowed to eat cupcakes, cookies, and other food, but that is only when the plates are already empty.

According to the TikTok parents, it works for them that is why they thought of sharing the parenting hack to their followers.
