Travelling with a picky eater? Don’t stress! With a little strategic planning and a positive mindset, you can significantly reduce mealtime worries and focus more on creating wonderful family memories!
Research is key when traveling with a picky eater. Think about where you will be eating, and what to expect. Check out the menu of local restaurants, or the hotel that you may be dining at. Look into local grocery stores – you can even call and find out what products they stock.
- Know your child’s safe meals.
- Check out restaurants menus ahead of arrival.
- Try to maintain meal and snack times.
- Bring a colouring book for entertainment while waiting.
- Remember..it’s okay if they don’t eat everything!
Be open minded – One of the best parts about travelling abroad is experiencing all your destination has to offer, including foods or meals that are popular in that area. You may not feel that adventurous early in the week when you’re jet-lagged and overwhelmed with new cultural stimulation. But by the end of the week, try to let your guard down a little and try something new. Even this picky eater has tried haggis in Scotland…but only once, because maybe one time is enough!
