Why does my toddler only have tantrums at mealtime?

Oh, my dear, let me paint a picture. See if it sounds familiar. You’ve spent the better part of an hour creating a healthy, colorful, and (you hoped) delicious meal for your little one. You place the plate on their high chair tray, a triumphant smile on your face, only to be met with a piercing shriek. The beautifully arranged broccoli florets are launched into orbit, the cup of milk is overturned in a dramatic tidal wave, and your sweet toddler transforms into a tiny, raging food critic.
