And I remember that expression so well. I'd like to tell you that it ends soon, but it doesn't. I've got a 21 year old and 16 year old & they are both still picky (sigh). OMG. . . he is so cute.

I just tried to not make food a battle ground. If they didn't want to eat it fine but no treats later. Usually the battle isn't about food it is about the ability to say no. I also found if they were involved in making the food they were more likely to try it. They do go through phases but they won’t starve themselves. I just tried to not make food a battle ground.

I have to admit--it's pretty frustrating. Have you seen Veggie Mom's blog? She is promoting this new seasoning called Pop'rs. It works on veggies, for sure. My kids like the taco flavor, especially on broccoli, of all things! Anywho, when you get tired of trying to serve what's best for them, take a lighter look at summer--Please tune in to my blog Sunday for another edition of the Silly Sweepstakes!

Eat what is in front of you. EveryOne's taste can change. But home isnt a diner. There comes a point when the child says n o, and well there’s nothing else to eat. Eat what is in front of you.

Make that "they all hit that picky eater STAGE" The other sentence makes it sound like my other kids hit the picky eater. Occasionally they did but not because of his eating habits. sorry, typing too quickly.

That was before I had two more sons and realized they all hit that picky eater (or mine did). During that time, as a freelancer, I had to attend a conference for parents who wanted to know about children's nutrition. The crowd was standing room only! Everyone worried about their child's eating habits. Then we were told how little a 2 year old really needs and to "trust" our child's appetite. Easier said than done but it became easier over time :) You are probably a much calmer parent than I was but there were days I thought my older son would starve.
