[quote=Anonymous]I have a 18 yo who is still a picky eater, as is his cousin who is 28 (female). With truly picky eaters the "they'll eat when they're hungry", "make it cute", "pick the colors" and/or "this is a tree, this is xxx" to get them to eat do not work. They have both expressed so much frustration that people comment on their picky eating at every meal, and that it gets really old. My DC gets tired of "Is that all you're going to eat" at every single meal if someone else is with us. Truly picky kids: deep breaths and they will try things eventually, but it might be when they are adults. And then they will get so sick of constantly having it pointed out. They are over it, just like people get commented on being too fat or too skinny. Enough. With younger children, keep putting out healthy options and add vitamins. Make sure there is always something at least they will eat. Stop the power play over food because it will exhaust you. [/quote]
