Signs it’s boredom:
- Eats better when food is colorful or arranged differently
- Prefers snacks over full meals
- Shows interest in other people’s food but not their own
Tips to make food fun again:
- Use cookie cutters to shape yam, toast, or fruit

Reminder: Sometimes, it’s a phase. Keep offering healthy foods — don’t stress.
