[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 199815, member: 3208"] Hi, I don't have a kid with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or sensory issues but I do have a "picky" eater and I was also a picky eater as a kid. I have never forced the issue with my dtr, just pretty much let her eat what she would eat. She is now 17 and has broadened her eating interests considerably though she is now a vegetarian so that presents some difficulties. My parents didn't force the issue with me and I am grateful. Mealtimes were not battlegrounds, I just ate whatever I liked of the dinners we had or my mom would make me a peanut butter sandwich or let me eat cereal, etc. I am sure they could not have won if they had tried to engage me in a battle of wills. I was a very skinny child but I survived and certainly have made up for it now! Around the time I turned 17 I was much more willing to try new foods and now I like most things and am not considered picky anymore. Just my 2 cents worth-- Jane [/QUOTE]
