We did that when the teeth started coming in! To this day our now adult sons are not afraid to try new foods.
I remember going to a Chinese buffet and they had baby octopus, they wanted to try it. So we let them of course. The lady behind us was like they wont eat that. I ignored her and the tried and loved it.
The employees were so excited!

Yum! My folks didn't explore many foods with us, but I know that I'll gladly try new things. My little sister is quite picky however, haha.
Octopus is impressive! I'm sure my husband will give our kids all sorts of things, he eats some interesting and pretty varied stuff.

Thank you. Our rule in our house is you have to try it three separate times. The first time they will not like it out of spite, second time the may or may not like, and the third time they will honestly like it or not. Its been very successful for our family

How old are your kids when you do that technique? My bar is “look at it” for one of my kids

We always did it. Whenever we started something new. My sons are now 27, 25, and 21. We now have two granddaughters, ages 3 and 1, and do the same thing with them.

That's a great idea, I'll be keeping that one in mind!
