A study published in the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine found that children as young as 2-years-old mimic their parents’ food choices.
Some excerpts from a news article describing the study:
“The data suggest that children begin to assimilate and mimic their parents’ food choices at a very young age, even before they are able to fully appreciate the implications of these choices.”
“This study suggests that preschool children are already forming food preferences and are attentive to food choices made by their parents.”
