[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:47, you have a monster of a picky eater, don't you? You do realize that you trained your DC to be this way...?[/quote]

I don't actually -- she's a very adventurous eater, she'll try anything. Her dad, on the other hand, is truly a monster of a picky eater! And I'm a bit of a picky eater myself -- I love most foods, but when there is something I don't like, I Do Not like it and Will Not eat it. Eggplant? Awesome. Sea urchin? Love it! Carrots? I will leave a pile on my plate, no matter how fancy the dinner party.

I encourage my daughter to try all sorts of foods, but I don't insist she eat foods she has tried and doesn't like. I want her to trust her body to guide her eating, and I don't want to engage in power struggles over what she eats or doesn't.

So far I'm happy with how she eats. She loves things like kale, and olives, and I have not passed on to her my hatred of carrots. She went through a won't-eat-beef phase, but she got over it pretty quickly.[/quote]
