Research shows that a child may need to be offered a food as many as times before accepting it.

The answer is 15 times. Kids are very picky eaters and they are very sensitive to the taste, smell and consistency or texture of food. Children are creatures of habit. They do not like new kinds of food. Based on the study, we would need to offer them 10-15times before they accept and eat a new type of food. In addition to this, new food should be put next to the food that the kid already liked.
