[quote=Anonymous]Drop the rope. Read Ellyn Satter. I have 2 picky eaters and at 8 and 6 they are trying (and adding!) new foods on a weekly or monthly basis. It has taken YEARS. Literally years. Over that time we have added some foods and lost others. Some foods get added into the rotation for a few months (beef tacos in a crunchy shell, French pineapple) and then dropped. Other foods seem to be permanently added to the rotation - cheeseburger, grilled cheese, chicken in a quesadilla, ravioli and tortellini, mini cucumbers, turkey lunchmeat. I think a lot of people think kids are picky when they won’t eat veggies or “mixed up” foods like stir fry, curry, and stew. I’ve had kids who didn’t eat pizza or sandwiches. My kids refuse to try mash potatoes or meatballs! Adding chicken nuggets, pizza, and hamburger (only one kid) was game changing because we could go to restaurants. [/quote]
