[quote=Anonymous]My son has eating problems as well but is underweight. I learned a lot from a nutritionist we saw and a therapist. The best thing I learned was that it takes a lot of exposure to new foods for a kid to try it. Maybe 20 or 30. So for example, when we needed him to eat high calorie healthy food sucklhbas sweet potatoes with tons of butter I had to offer them 20 to 30 times! I would just put it on the table at first, then on the late but tell him he didn't have to eat it - eventually he took a bite on his own (after see us eat it many times) Was exhausting and sucked but eventually he ate it and enjoyed it. Also - agree that meal time should be enjoyable not a punishment. I always make something he likes. I struggle with protein as well. My son surprised me one day and just started eating my beans! Just know that this is a long process. She will get there with your support. Good Luck![/quote]
