[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 124673, member: 2459"] I saw that she likes celery and also peanut butter. Maybe you can come up with some new twists for the things she does like. Celery and peanut butter go well together. Actually, having something on the celery (pb or dip) is the only way I eat celery. Maybe keep Ranch dressing or veggie dip on hand. One of my favorite snacks is Triscuts and Ranch dressing. Sometimes presentation makes a difference in the food too. Maybe you could pick up on of those apple peeler/corer/slicer things to do the apples on. My son is a pretty picky eater also and it makes it hard. I still buy "junk" stuff (cookies, Little Debbie cakes, etc.) but I limit what he gets. Maybe you could try things like fruit roll ups, granola bars, fruity cereal bars...things like that. There are also popscicles that are made from fruit juice. When I buy chips, I like to get some of the healthier chips. (LOL like there IS such a thing). Sun Chips are good and I don't think they are quite as bad as regular chips. I don't think you are being too strict but I do agree with 4sumrzn. If you say yes to something with the condition of no other snack, then you have to stick to it. If she argues or whines.....that was the deal. Have an apple/orange/other healthy snack or deal with it. Those are the options. My difficult child still tries stuff like that but he also knows that 9 times out of 10 I'm going to stick with my original statement. I present him with the options and he either grumps, mutters and eats one of the options or he grumps, mutters and goes without. [/QUOTE]
