[quote=Anonymous]OP, if he's gagging that much, this isn't just being stubborn. Don't frame eating habits in terms of morality and being a good person, even subconsciously . I would just...let it go. Don't try to force them to clean his plate, don't get mad at him. If he doesn't like new foods and gags. Even in your head. Just let it go. Eating does not have to be this kind of a battle. You're not a good or a bad parent if your kid is picky and he's not a good or a bad kid because he is. Many picky eaters will grow out of it as they age. But it becomes harder. It becomes a battle of wills in a control issue. Everybody will be happier if you just let it go and let him eat he likes. You are looking at this in a very narrow way about how much time you spend meal planning. Meal plan for the people who will eat and throw some fruit or crackers or whatever. He will eat on his plate along with a normal meal and then just ignore him if he doesn't eat the new food[/quote]
