[quote=Anonymous]I got super worried that my daughter would never grow out of her pickiness (exactly as you describe) when she was about 8 or 9. We decided to institute family breakfasts on Sunday where everyone had to cook/invent something we hadn't had before, and everyone had to try what the others had made. Her first attempts to make up recipes ended up with stuff like berries and yogurt layered in a fancy glass with halloween candy sprinkled on top. But over time, she started to experiment with ingredients and get excited about cooking with and trying new flavors. Over perhaps the next year, she started reading cookbooks for ideas and picking out new ingredients at the store. She's 17 now and will try/enjoy about anything - and still makes dinner for the family one night a week. So maybe getting your kids involved with the cooking process will help to develop their interest in food? [/quote]
