Fostering the development of healthy eating behaviors during childhood.
Pak Paed J Jan ;37(4):257-8.

Preferences are a strong driver of children’s dietary intake. Young children show innate preferences for sweet, salty, and savory tastes and aversion to bitter tastes, but also a strong propensity to learn from experience. Healthy eating behaviors can be promoted by repeatedly exposing children to healthy foods, pairing novel healthy foods with familiar, preferred foods, and introducing new foods in a positive social context.
