[quote=Anonymous]I have a picky 7 year old who also eats school lunches and loves pizza, hot dogs and the like. He would never touch soup. I don't even try. Veggies are limited to carrots and cucumbers. With lots of efforts we have added sweet potatoes once a week and some asparagus. I supplement by juicing veggies (celery, beets, carrots, kale, apples) and making green smoothies. I don't feel too bad about his diet. I'm totally fine with chips a couple of times a week, bars for snack, ice cream or donuts now and then. As long as there is 1 fruit and 1 veggie a day, I declare my job is done. He understands the importance of healthy eating and genuinely tries, but it's hard to overcome the aversion. My younger one is not like that and eats everything. I would lower my expectations and go at his own pace.[/quote]
