[quote=Anonymous]We were struggling with the same problem and were going crazy. I went to a class on eating struggles given by Dr Dan Shapiro of Bethesda and it helped immensely. Try to see if he has similar classes coming up soon in the DC area. Some of the rules given were to avoid drama at the table and try instead to talk about something else (not food/eating related) so that you don’t enforce negative attention, avoiding too many snacks in between meals, offering a reward after eating the meal properly (short screen time or a small dessert), offering a variety of foods and even if not eaten try again the same food type over and over, giving water and limit milk or juice (sugary and fatty drinks give the kid a feeling of full stomach), don’t make a big fuss if the child doesn’t eat and goes to bed hungry for one day.
