[quote=Anonymous]Sounds to me you are far too lenient. I have five kids, ages 12 to 26. All were, 'picky eaters' at some point. Most of time, kids are picky because they don't like how the food looks for whatever reason. Many have never even tried what they claim to hate. Maybe they think lunch meat looks slimy. Or the beef looks dry, or whatever. Make your normal meals. Make it clear she is expected to eat what is on her plate, whether she wants to or not. Explain that food is a necessity in life and sometimes you have to eat what is available (if you have examples of food you don't much like eating it works even better). Tell her that we are having, say, steak tonight, here is your plate, and that we expect you to eat at least 75 percent of the plate and won't be excused until that happens. And then follow through.
