[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t worry about the percentile, some people are just small. What does she do when you put some other kid of food in front of her? My guess is she eats those 5 things because you give her those 5 things? And if you gave her something else she’d have a melt down? Just start small. Put one of those things on her plate along with whatever else the family is eating.[/quote] Presentation for kids like this matters a lot. Prepare her plate so the first item she sees, and the thing there is the most of, is a food she likes. Make sure any new items are pretty small. Like quarter a baby carrot. She will be more likely to try it if it's clear from the start that you don't expect her to eat a full serving. Even if she doesn't eat it, a willingness to sit down to a plate that has an objectionable food on it can be a victory when you are dealing with a severely picky eater.[/quote]
