[quote=Anonymous]I have tried rewards for one bite, sitting until he eats the portion I've put on his plate (very reasonable, trust me), using a timer, putting on the full court press, letting all the tension go, and letting the decision be his (ie, it's cool if you don't all all the carrots and chicken leg.  If you do, you get dessert.  If you don't, no dessert.  It's up to you whether you get dessert.)

The doctor spoke to him about trying more foods, he also told me what he was eating met basic requirements for nutrition.  But I'm starting to hear stories about high school kids (boys mostly) who are STILL picky eaters like this and I go a little crazy thinking I could be dealing with this until college and then I'm sending an ADULT off with this kind of food problem?  I feel like I'm going bat shit crazy some days with this one.  (he's the youngest of three, by the way).

Is there a control issue embedded in food struggles?  He also likes to know what's happening, timelines, who's coming, how long, all kinds of things related to controlling his environment.  [/quote]
