[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD15 has times when she will take one bite out of an apple or one bite of a pear and toss the entire pear or apple into the trash. Mainly an “ewww this tastes bad” tosses the food. It’s perfectly good and when she asks someone else to taste it, they will say there’s nothing wrong with it you should save it for later.

She’s always been a nibbler and as a small child the pediatrician would say to leave her plate out and she will come back to it which  she always did. A few bites of dinner. Then an hour or so later she’d be back for a few more bites and then before bed a few more bites would be a good example.

When it comes to snack foods she never finished full packages/prepackaged snacks and that’s continued into this sophomore year. There are things she likes to eat — things like bowls full of whipped cream and mainly desserts from places like crumbl where one cookie is in the fridge for a week with her eating it over the course of those days. Those she will finish. Dinner meals she still eats a little over the course of hours and into the next day.

She has a small frame, has always been on the low end for weight so we’ve not discouraged any eating just discouraging the waste of food.

How do you curb the one bite and toss?

Cut up the apple or pear vas biting because someone else may want the slices. [/quote]
