When you see "though" at the end of a sentence, it is being used as a linking word that shows that the sentence is in contrast or contradicting another sentence. So, in this case, he is saying that rather than always eating "kid food" kids should try new food. Using "though" like this is informal and mainly conversational. People might use it in email or text conversation but it is not really used in essays, academic articles or more formal written forms. Ex: She had a migraine. She still did her exam, though. Ex: My brother is so mean to me. He's kind to animals, though.
