[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and thank you to those of you with older kids sharing your similar experiences. I know it seems like I'm arguing with people but I'm really looking for solutions. It is helpful to hear how others have done it. And just to hear that it does get better and your kids are healthy and even, at some point, more normal (or even adventurous) eaters. It is a useful counterpoint to the people I encounter who are like "my kid loves salad, beets, mahi-mahi, lentils, and rosemary focaccia -- have you tried serving those?"[/quote]

I hear you OP. I have 2 kids. The 6 year old eats most things and willing to try new foods. The 3 year old is carbs, fruit and cheese and one type of meatball. I serve dinner and always have a cheese stick/meatball option for the little one. She eats that and can see everything else. Putting new food on her plate results in her throwing it. So i do little bowls/muffin cups of "exposure foods" which she doesn't touch. I just cant worry about it as shes getting nutrition. With an older kid, i would talk about what our bodies need to mot feel hungry longer and thats usually protein and work with her on figuring out what types of things she can eat to keep from being hungry longer. Is your kid constipated at all? That would cause frequent belly aches as well. [/quote]
