Introduce New Foods To Picky Eaters
UNIVERSITY PARK
(Centre Co.) Whether your
child is six months or six years
old, if he or she is a picky eater,
mealtimes can be a disaster.
But, if you understand chil
dren's behavior, you can help
them leam to enjoy a variety of
foods, according to a nutrition
specialist in Penn State’s Col
lege of Agricultural Sciences.
“The preschool years are
characterized by bouts of inde
pendence,” said Katherine
Cason, associate professor of
food science. “What appears to
be ‘picky’ eating may instead
be your child’s early attempts
to be assertive a natural part
of growing up. Before a picky
eater gets to be a problem eater,
you can use certain skills and
techniques to ease mealtime
struggles and encourage even
the pickiest eater to try a few
bites of new, different and nu
tritious food at each meal.”
LOST
STREAM
MAP
The STREAM MAP OF
PENNSYLVANIA was completed in
1965 after a thirty-year effort by
Howard Higbee, a former Penn State
Professor.
The map sold extremely well—
until it was lost several years later.
Incredibly, the printer entrusted with
the original drawing andpnntlng
plates declared bankruptcy, then
carelessly hauled Higbee’s years of
work to a landfill
Experts told Professor Higbee that
reprints were impossible, because
the maps were pnnted in non
photographic blue
The few remaining copies
became pnzed fisherman's
possessions, known to some as the
“Lost Stream Map" Higbee was
offered $4OO for one of his last
maps.
Then, in 1991, at the age of 91,
Howard Higbee's dream came true
Karl logs and Larry Seaman of Vivid
Publishing, Inc, a Williamsport firm,
found new technology that enabled
them to reproduce and republish the
map Howard said, “I never thought
I'd live to see this day ”
Before his death in 1993,
Professor Htgbee shared his
knowledge of map making with
Seaman and Ings, and supported the
creation of new state stream maps
Stream maps now cover 18 states,
New York, Michigan, Ohio,
Maryland-Oelaware, New Jersey,
Northern California, Washington,
Colorado, Wisconsin, Virginia,
Missouri and 5 New England States
All 50 states will be available by the
end of 2003
Here are Cason’s top ten tips
for your picky eater:
1. One step at a time. Offer
one new food at a time. Let the
child know if it will be sweet,
salty or sour.
2. A taste is just a taste.
Allow the child to decide the
amount to try. A “taste” can be
as small as teaspoon.
3. What goes in, may come
out ... and that’s okay! Recent
studies indicate children are
more likely to try a new food if
they have the option of not
swallowing it. Just make sure
they know to spit it out in a
napkin.
4. Provide role models. Imi
tation is a powerful source in
learning. Encourage a reluctant
taster to try new foods while
around friends or family who
will not be so unwilling.
5. Keep it familiar. Serve an
unfamiliar food with familiar
ones. This increases the likeli
hood that a child will taste the
new food.

RAVE REVIEWS
“It is amazingly detailed and
names some creeks in the
Mohawk Valley that can’t
even be found on
topographic maps ”
—John Pitarres,
OBSERVER-DISPATCH,
Utica
“If you’re looking for the most
definitive maps ever created
depicting every single creek,
river, stream, pond and
lake .then ‘Professor
Higbee's Stream Maps’ are
without question the finest ’’
—Howard Brant,
THE NEWARK STAR-LEDGER
“It is in showing where to find
out-of-the-way trout streams
that makes the map such a
treasure to the fisherman ’’
—Joe Gordon,
TRIBUNE-DEMOCRAT,
Johnstown
6. Get children involved.
Whether they help shop at the
grocery store or prepare the
food at home, even the most
finicky eaters are more likely to
try a foed they have helped
prepare.
7. Give them a choice. Pre
school children are learning to
be independent. You can help
your child feel independent by
presenting them a choice of
foods to try.
8. Read them a story. A child
is more likely to try a food that
has been introduced in a story.
9. If at first you don’t suc
ceed... Many young children
must be offered a food eight to
10 times before they will try it.
Continue to offer a new food;
eventually children are likely to
try it.
10. Relax! Focus your atten
tion on the positive aspects of
your child’s eating behavior,
not on your child’s food.

People like to tell me that sum
mer is more than half over
where has the time gone? Just
now we are canning apricots as
one of our four trees has had a
good crop. Many fell down and
were eaten by the animals.
While I was in the garden
planting beans, a deer came rath
er close to our rail fence. It ap
peared to be curious and watched
me for a while. Personally, I wish
it would leave and go to live in
another woodland.
We had a family picnic recent
ly in Cumberland County. In the
1940 s we started holding a July
picnic to honor my father’s birth
day. Now the fifth generation has
arrived on the
scene. This
year the host
had several
interesting
games for the
whole group.
One was a

game on distance between trees
while the other was a basketball
throw. A 12-year-old grandson,
who had just come from a bas
ketball camp, was the first one to
get five balls in the basket.
At our large church, we have
the option of wearing a name tag.
A Mr. Rankin signed our guest
book. So, when the service was
over I greeted him by name. Only
to find out that his name tag said
“Phillips.” He quickly covered
the tag as he had mistakenly
picked up another man’s tag.
Somedays we might like to
take someone else’s identity as
when the car tire goes flat or
when water stains a good carpet.
This month we are having our
log house stained. First they pres
sure washed the whole house and
used so much water that the well
ran dry. Now we are hoping that
we will like the color that we
have chosen.
