[quote=Anonymous]I have one truly picky kid who really does not try new food at all. Even tonight/ this child loves lemon cake. I had a soft lemon cookie from Panera. She gagged at the idea of even tasting it. So for her, yes. I don't have the option. This is a child who won't even try new foods that are sugar. She has the option of a plain turkey sandwich, scrambled eggs, or fruit/yogurt/cheese. For awhile she would do turkey meatballs or grilled cheese then suddenly she "doesn't like them." Last night she did do spaghetti without the sauce and garlic bread.

I'm very jealous of all of you who have kids who will eat whatever. I desperately wish she would but it's anxiety driven for her. This is how she copes with anxiety. I'm well aware picky eaters are annoying because her eating drives me CRAZY and I've spent no little amount of time stressing over her nutrient intake and adaptability.

The other kid almost never gets a different meal because she willingly eats anything and if she's asking for something different it's because she thinks she can scam Apple Jacks for dinner or something. [/quote]
