[quote=Anonymous]That's really not that bad of a list at all. You're covering all of the food groups with a few options except dairy. (Do they do cheese, milk, and/or yogurt?) I'd work on offering those maybe foods more often and start talking to the 5 year old about nutrition and making good choices for his/her body. My 5 year old got on board with trying a lot of foods when I explained how each bite would make his brain a little bit smarter, or muscles a little bit stronger, or bones a little bit longer. You get the idea. But yeah, some kids hate sauces and mixed together foods. I think that is very normal for their ages and it is totally reasonable to serve deconstructed versions of whatever you are eating. But don't force it and don't make it stressful. Slow and steady wins the race and you NEED their buy-in or it'll just be an exercise in stubbornness. [/quote]
