[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I believe that most sensory issues come because parents are not good cooks when kids are young. Rare is a true feeding issue in kids. The reason this post is so loaded is that we all believe you contributed to your child sensory issue and don't believe you that it is a medical issue.[/quote]

Totally agree.  You rarely (meaning almost never) heard about “sensory disorders” when my kids were little.  They are young adults now.   Yes, there are rare medical conditions that make feeding difficult.  But 99.9% of the time it’s poor parenting. [/quote]

Eh I have plenty of family in their 60s who talk about how picky their kids were. My nephew, now in his late 30s, wouldn't eat much other than pbj growing up and I can assure you it wasn't from poor cooking or lack of stern parenting. My MIL talks about how picky her kids were until adulthood, she struggled with it. My FIL near 70 barely eats more than white bread, eggs, meat and potatoes and a completely plain salad and has visible angst at going to a restaurant. Just because it wasn't talked about or given a name back then doesn't mean it didn't exist.[/quote]
Is this nephew the son of these 60 year olds who were and are picky eaters?  Nobody mentioned stern parenting as the cause of picky eating, clearly it is the usually the opposite of stern parenting that causes eating issues. You know what most kids not in the US in the last 50 years ate when they didn't like what was cooked? Nothing. And nobody worried about it. If I didn't like the lunch grandma cooked, she most certainly did not make me a sandwich of any kind! Just the fact that your nephew had the pbj sandwiches speaks of why he became a picky eater.[/quote]

This is correct. If a kid in the 60's or 70s did not eat what was served for a meal kid did not eat until next meal.  No special meals were made.  This was the norm in
society.[/quote]

Yes. And it still sometimes resulted in a picky eater. My mom did this and I did starve myself, I remember it. And going to restaurants wasn't the big common thing as much then as it is now. And if people did have to drag their kid out to one, sometimes they still snuck the kid something else to eat to shut them up to get through the meal.[/quote]

Mine would starve.  I would prefer to starve too.  Ours usually will find something now and will try.   But if any concern over the menu and mine eats before we go.   No big deal.  Not worth a power struggle.  [/quote]
