My toddler refuses to eat anything except plain rice and biscuits... How can I slowly introduce more variety without a battle at every mealtime?

Psychological Perspective of the Child: Children find comfort in familiar foods. They may reject new foods because of unfamiliarity, texture sensitivity, or a need for control. Psychological Guidance for Parents: Introduce small changes gradually. For example, mix a small amount of a new ingredient into their favorite food. Keep mealtimes stress-free and positive. Modeling eating a variety of foods can encourage them to explore without pressure.
