[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t hit my kids or support hitting any kid, but this makes parenting way more work in a multitude of ways. I really liked The Secret of Parenting for general advice, not eating advice.

My kids are incredibly picky because food is always plentiful and available to them. They can just wait for the next preferred food. Mine are at a healthy weight because I’m careful to avoid buying junk, but it’s no surprise Americans (of all ages) are heavy.

I’m the pp with the 10yo picky eater.  Not all children are picky for the same reason.  I’m glad yours are at a healthy weight but my child weighed 33 pounds at age 5.  We were not offering her junk but did give ice cream every other day for the fat and calories.  She still needed a lot of help to reach a healthy weight.  It’s easy to blame parents and kids in this situation but often it’s nobody’s fault.[/quote]

I didn’t mean to imply that it’s anyones fault! It’s definitely not IMO. It’s just a function of changing societal expectations for parents. I hate parent blaming on here so I’m sorry if my post came off that way. [/quote]

Thank you pp that is nice of you to say! And your initial post is a good reminder that kids are picky for different reasons.[/quote]
