[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with pediatrician that food battles aren't a good thing. For,those of you who say that they'll eventually eat what you make if you essentially starve them out, that never worked for me with my picky, vegetarian eater. Turns out that he's ASD and has a lot of food texture issues. My rule: I always try to have one thing on the table that I know each kid will typically eat. Beyond that, they can make their own dinner if they don't like what I'm offering. ASD child will typically heat up a bag of edamame and grab a banana. He also sometimes makes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. No one gets dessert without eating something healthy. I find it's best for family harmony to not dictate what the healthy thing is. [/quote] A better question is: how did you allow this child to become a picky vegetarian with "food texture issues" in the first place?[/quote]
