[quote=Anonymous]My almost 11yo is quite picky & always has been so. If they say it takes 15-30 tries at a new food, for DS, it's more like 100+. One thing that has helped was to have him cook. Styled as: you'll be going off to college in 7 years and you'll need to know how to make your favorite things. I offer help where he wants/needs it, but leave him at it. Also, if there is a food he doesn't like, I offer to let him improve upon it. He's welcome to add whatever sauce or spice it takes to make it his own & eat it. Finally, (& with admittedly limited success), changing the format of the food can help. For example, beans have been on DS's no go list forever. But recently, he has been ok with hummus and socca. I pointed out that both have chickpeas as the main ingredient, which means that he can't really hate all legumes after all. He'll still gag at the sight of a whole cooked bean, but it has opened the door a little bit more.[/quote]
