[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our picky eater just doesn’t seem to have much of an appetite.  So he doesn’t ask for different food or complain about being hungry, he just won’t eat it if he doesn’t like it.  And even if he does like it he won’t eat very much.  I honestly wish he would devour pasta and chicken fingers because then it would at least be easier to get him enough calories![/quote]

Same. We have been working on accepting when she eats very small servings and just trusting her to figure it out. It can be hard, especially when sometimes it's a pragmatic issue, like wanting her to eat a meal before a physical activity so that she is starving AND to avoid her becoming super hangry afterwards. But we've learned to just pack healthy snacks and make sure they are available when she's ready. She might pick at or skip the bowl of pasta before swim class, but if she then eats sliced apples and peanut butter on the way home, good enough.[/quote]

What kind of snacks does she like?[/quote]
