[quote=Anonymous]First, I want to say that I completely understand. I had a picky eater, but now he eats nearly everything. It took awhile. We tried everything, but what is important is to realize that it’s not a disciplinary issue. My son had control issues, related to stress and we didn’t see it at first. We actually sent him to a food therapist, who helped us understand his issues and helped us get him on the right track. Here is how we handled it: We made what we wanted for dinner, but we always had on hand something we knew he liked (like mac and cheese or egg noodles). He could choose to eat what we made, or he could choose to eat the things we had on hand. He usually chose what we had on hand, but the he got bored with it and started trying new things (i.e., what we made for dinner). It worked.[/quote]
