[quote=Anonymous]Yes, but DC, 11, is a picky eater very underweight (4'9'' and 62 lbs, BMI well below the 5th % and showing zero signs of starting puberty). She doesn't have an eating disorder and isn't restricting in an I'm fat sort of way-- she has never liked to eat. She has been seen by the interdisciplinary feeding team at Children's, and based on their advice, I talk to her about how out bodies need feel to grow and how important it is to eat healthy food on a regular schedule, but don't try to force her to eat any particular thing. More globally, we have been sending her to kids cooking classes, involving her with food prep at home, and taking her to the grocery store to choose her own healthy snacks and lunch supplies. She also packs her own lunch. Something about giving her some control seems to help. [/quote]
