Getting children into healthy eating habits can feel like a never-ending battle, with new research showing that two-thirds of parents end up arguing with their child over mealtimes an average of twice a week. A quarter admitted that they had given up even trying to get their child to try new things, and almost half said they feel like they have wasted food.
