[QUOTE="artana, post: 231060, member: 6186"] I agree with Marg. My child will not eat. He would rather go hungry than eat something that he doesn't like. He hates tomato sauces in general, so I tend to make spaghetti or meatballs with a bit of butter and garlic for him or sometimes I make alfredo for the whole family. He will not even have peanut butter and jelly (which is a huge deal in the States) though he will eat peanut butter. My advice is the same as Marg's. Have the child help you cook. Let him know when you give him something new and have an alternative ready. Sometimes, with a younger one, you can introduce something they like and later tell them what's in it, and that's ok. My difficult child eats spinach and cheese tortellini because he loved it before he asked what was in it. He started to get upset when he found out, but I asked him if it was worth it to be upset and never eat it again. The next day he told me he would eat spinach in the tortellini, but nothing else. I felt that was a huge victory.:) [/QUOTE]
