[quote=Anonymous]Mine are 9 and 12 and neither are traditionally picky although both went through annoying picky phases. For my kids it wasn’t about true pickiness just control so I usually gave in without appearing to (making more things they both would eat for dinner) and allowing for meal modifications (for example I’d add things later they didn’t like to stir fries and soups and serve them before that)

I also took them out to restaurants a lot and not just kid places. Now both are kind of snobs and don’t like kid food other than pizza. But based on their friends I’d say they don’t branch out much until 9/10/11/12 ish. When they start to be really influenced by their friends - mine are really vocal about their love for certain restaurants and food....mine could go to sushi track restaurants daily and I’ve seem their picky friends try stuff when their parents aren’t around lol.

It stops being cool to be picky. I know it’s wrong but my 12 yo had a friend who was infamously picky and her and the other kids made fun of it some to her. It becomes uncool at this age to eat lie a little kid.[/quote]
