[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a skinny picky eater also with a frustrated husband. I was a picky eater and I got it; he wasn't and did not. What finally worked was a promise of ice cream if he ate a sufficient dinner. He had to try what we served and if he still didn't like it, choose from two easy alternates like a sandwich or cheese. Offering a choice shifts some control to your child which is a big part of her refusal to eat (of course ruling out anything medical). Mine would still get ice cream if he ate a vegetable and a protein, the goal was eating a meal first. It may seem cruel to deny her snacks, but she needs to come to the table hungry. Sounds like the hardest part will be getting your spouse on the same page. Good luck! [/quote]
