[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 240032, member: 1991"] We don't throw out food. There is always someone else who will eat it. Remember the nursery rhyme about Jack Spratt and his wife - opposite likes/dislikes but together they ate everything. A suggestion, totoro - when she says she doesn't like something, ask her to try to explain what it is she dislikes about it. Point out this isn't to challenge her dislike, it's to encourage her to try to analyse it for herself, because this can help identify groups of foods that she might dislike, as well as characteristics to watch out for. It also can make it easier for you to find foods she DOES like. But deep down - it really helps a child who is simply feeling ANXOUS about certian foods, to really try to understand themselves. I have BF1 to thank for this trick. It's made a huge difference to difficult child 3, he now eats much more than he used to. Marg [/QUOTE]
