[quote=Anonymous]DH was rather like this as a kid. He remembers fondly how his stepmom helped him branch out a bit into eating more broadly. I think that helped set the groundwork for his palate to mature when he went away to college and started eating more like everyone else. I think I'd keep offering the foods you know he'll eat, but then be subtly persistent in offering new things also. (They say it takes 10-15 times before someone likes a new food.) I'd also keep taking him to restaurants, in order to help socialize him and give him opportunities to eat new things (even if he declines). His pickiness isn't a reflection on you, so remind yourself that you don't need to be embarrassed. I really like Ellyn Satter's approach to feeding kids. You might want to check out one of her books (or at least her website: http://ellynsatterinstitute.org).[/quote]
