[quote=Anonymous]So I grew up being a picky eater...here are my thoughts. I think she is sneaking the food because she is hungry. I used to do that. Now that I am older I wish my parents had been a little more strict at mealtimes. Have you considered looking into a food therapist and not a family therapist instead?
Switch to cloth napkins and inspect them after meals. Make her finish the food that is in her mouth before he leaves the table. This way she can't put food in her mouth and then spit it into the toilet after meals. Watch closely that she is not moving food around on her plate. Always make sure there is at least one food she likes at meals. Require her to take a bite of everything on her plate. Don't give her seconds of the thing she likes until she has a bite of the other food.
Stop buying stuff like goldfish and M&M's. The squishy fruit I assume you are talking about fruit snacks? We don't consider that food/fruit in my house....we consider that candy. Stop buying those.[/quote]
