[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your kid? My son is a super picky eater and the compromise we have made is that we accommodate him at home, but we don’t make special arrangements otherwise and he has to eat school lunch 2x a week. I think he survived 2 full years of preschool with family-style cafeteria meals by mostly eating dinner rolls and drinking milk. At 10, we’re starting to see his need for calories outstrip his pickiness and he has added many foods. Most new foods are introduced outside the home and then we recreate it at home with a simple, deconstructed version, working up to the full thing. There was a time I packed protein bars and apple sauce for vacation because he didn’t eat pizza or chicken nuggets - his only “restaurant foods” were milkshakes, smoothies, and fries. This summer he added grilled chicken, crispy chicken sandwiches, and lasagna to his foods!

Part of our “make it work” approach has been to help him plan ahead. He eats most breakfast foods (except eggs sadly) and he knows to load up on pancakes, bagels, bananas, etc. in case lunch is something he hates.  I might worry about sending him away for 6-8 weeks, but for 1-2 weeks I trust he’d figure it out. [/quote]

You might consider whether he has ARFID. You are basically using the concept therapists recommend for it. That sounds like great progress either way! [/quote]
