Food chaining is a supportive, step-by-step approach used by pediatric occupational therapists to help picky eaters feel more comfortable trying new foods. Instead of forcing change, it starts with foods a child already enjoys and slowly introduces similar tastes, textures, or shapes. This low-pressure method builds confidence, reduces mealtime stress, and encourages long-term healthy eating habits.
