[QUOTE="tonime, post: 199637, member: 144"] Ok-my difficult child--one issue he never had was food--only a few items he wouldn't eat-- and I certainly didn't argue over it since there were so few- (spinach, shrimp)-- and actually he eats those things today Well-- you want advice-- I read in one of those lovely parenting magazines once that you should say ok-- if he doesn't want to eat -- but it goes in the fridge until the next day-- when it is offered again--obviously he wouldn't get anything until then-- and this advice was for kids who wouldn't eat ANY of something--like wouldn't eat ANY green veggies, or ANY meat etc. etc. But I also agree to choose your battles wisely. Sometimes, kids just outgrow some of this stuff. I understand that you are upset -- and worried that he will be malnourished--but I doubt that will happen. I would also draw the line with making 4 different meals. That is not reality. He will eventually eat what you make. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
