[quote=Anonymous]You are describing my kid, basically, only she won’t eat vegetables at all. Maybe a single carrot, pea, or green bean occasionally. That’s it.

I realized recently that the problem is not that she’s picky. It’s that I don’t want to eat the way she does. And people are always like “eat with your kids! That’s how they expand their palette” so it stressed me out that she wouldn’t eat even the most kid friendly versions of the food DH and I like to eat.

So I am just letting go. We eat our food, she is always welcome to have done and well put a little on her plate or in her lunch so she gets exposure. But then we always have “her” foods available and make sure she’s eating plenty of fruit and decent grains and protein. And that’s it. If she wants more of “our” food it’s right there. If not, at least the food she eats is good quality and relatively nutritious, if not super diverse.

But yeah, it’s less a pickiness problem than a question of how to reconcile how we eat with how she eats.[/quote]
