Almost every toddler goes through a fussy phase. A smaller number are dealing with something that needs a different kind of help. This works out which one you're looking at — and where to start.
The wrong kind of help can make things worse. The slow, heavily accommodating approach that genuinely helps a child with picky eating is usually too much for a typically selective toddler, and can deepen rigidity. Pushing an anxious child through a boundaries-and-schedule approach won't work either. Same fussy toddler on the surface. Two different roads.
This isn't a diagnosis and it isn't a test your child can pass or fail. It's a sorting tool. Nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere.
The answer changes which questions matter.
You'll get your full result either way — this just tells me whether your paediatrician should be part of the picture too. Tick anything that's true, or nothing, which is the usual answer.
This matters more than anything else here. A child who isn't hungry, or who is rarely offered variety, will look fussy whatever else is going on.
All of these are normal between one and three. Frustrating, but normal.
These point to something different underneath — anxiety around food, sensory processing, or a developmental difference.
