[quote=Anonymous]Yes, there is hope. My picky son started eating “normally” by age 13. Honestly, I think he just got tired of eating his usual (mac-n-cheese, buttered pasta, etc.) and started to venture out. Now he eats everything I cook and will try new things without issue (he’s 16 now). FWIW, we tried everything when he was younger, to include seeing a food therapist, but nothing really worked. If he had no alternative foods, he just wouldn’t eat. Our food therapist was adamant that we not punish him for not eating what was offered; rather, we should simply encourage him to try something, and leave it at that. We did that for a few years - and he mostly stuck to pasta - but then he got tired of it and that was the impetus to be more adventurous. [/quote]
